Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “Thank you for everything we do together to protect the lives of Ukrainians and advance peace.”

Russia is trying to cause a blackout in Ukraine – right before winter.

They are slightly on Russia’s side. And by ‘slightly,’ I mean not direct weapons supplies, but a greater openness to them, a greater willingness to help them rather than us – and for a country as large as China, ‘slightly’ means a lot.

We want to end this war as quick as possible. We don’t see now signals from the Russian side that they are ready for this, to end this war. That’s why we have to prepare for the winter.

Putin does not want peace talks at the moment, in any form.
