Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “If Ukraine falls, Putin will surely go further.”

The winter package is not only energy, it’s also air defense and funding.

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.

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.

The sanctions could have helped enormously.
