We know from our intelligence and our partners that the Russians have readied missiles for a new massive attack on Ukraine. The strike may take place today – we have preliminary information that it could happen within the next 48 hours. Please take care of yourselves and pay attention to air raid alerts. We do expect understanding from our partners – air defense is the first priority where partners can help us. Every agreement must be carried out – and carried out promptly. Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and all of our diplomats must move faster, and Ukraine's needs must be voiced louder around the world – because these are real needs for protecting lives. And it is important that more and more is becoming known in our key partner countries about what is really happening in Ukraine, about Russia's attacks against our people, and about Russia's efforts to prolong this war. I hope that America will continue to stand with Ukraine and that we will be able to end this war with a dignified peace. This is what we need. We are preparing for a meeting with the President of the United States and his team. I thank America. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine – with our people and our efforts to protect life. We have clear intelligence that Russia is preparing a new and quite significant wave of mobilization for the fall. Currently, the Russians are losing more troops on the front than they are recruiting, yet Putin is still planning to intensify the attacks and expand this war. He needs more Russians to throw into assaults. We must defend ourselves against this in advance – at every level: on the front, through our long-range sanctions, through our mid-range strikes, through our diplomacy, and, of course, through engagement with everyone who can support life and bring peace closer.
