The most powerful world leaders, including the US President, have already told Russia that this war must end. However, Putin wants to fight on. That is why he must face conditions that will make it impossible for him to continue this war. We are creating these conditions with our long-range strikes on Russian military and oil facilities. Our medium-range sanctions are also working. They make it difficult for Russia to occupy our territory, our lives, and we are doing everything possible to make the occupation unbearable for the occupiers. I want to thank everyone who supports our efforts. And I urge you to continue this support through the new sanctions of the European Union. From a speech at the opening ceremony of the Irish presidency in the Council of the European Union. (2/3)
