We must much more actively use Russian assets frozen during the war for Ukrainian reconstruction.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
The Public Record
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the President of Ukraine, having taken office in May 2019. A former comedian and television producer, he gained prominence through his role in the television series 'Servant of the People,' where he played a schoolteacher who unexpectedly becomes president. Zelenskyy ran for office as a political outsider, campaigning on anti-corruption and reform agendas. His leadership has been particularly noted during the ongoing conflict with Russia, where he has sought to rally international support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
This is a clear escalation of terror by Russia—hundreds of 'Shaheds' every night, constant strikes, and massive attacks on Ukrainian cities.
Not only the income from these assets, but the assets themselves must be used, and much more actively than they are now, to help save lives.
Rebuilding Ukraine is not just about our country. It's also about your countries, your companies, technology, your jobs, the way we rebuild our country can also modernize your infrastructure and industries.
Our partners know how to apply pressure so that Russia will be forced to think about ending the war, not new strikes.
Comes precisely at a time when so many efforts have been made to achieve peace, to establish a ceasefire, and yet only Russia continues to rebuff them all.
Our hearts go out to the families of the over two dozen people who died, as well as all of the American communities affected by this natural disaster.
For every such strike against people and human life, they must feel appropriate sanctions and other blows to their economy, their revenues, and their infrastructure.
Without truly large-scale pressure, Russia will not change its dumb, destructive behavior.
We spoke about opportunities in air defense and agreed that we will work together to strengthen protection of our skies.
We will continue working to ensure justice for all victims. Criminals must face trial in The Hague and be punished.
The Tribunal, formally launched today, creates a real opportunity to hold the leadership of the Russian regime accountable for the crimes committed against our state and our people.
We appreciate the attention and the readiness to help bring peace closer. Details will follow.
I thank Mr President, I thank the United States. We discussed how to achieve a ceasefire and a real peace.
I had a long and substantive meeting with President Trump. We covered all the truly important issues.
[we] have evidence that they are preparing new military operations on the territory of Europe… We will inform partners about the facts that our intelligence has obtained. We are preparing joint defence solutions together, in particular…
The sooner the sick people in the Kremlin lose the ability to finance the war, the more lives we can save in Ukraine.
