Thanks to all the decisions made since last autumn – political decisions, financial decisions, and the technological choice we made a year ago – we were able to shift to a significantly more technologically advanced defense this winter and spring. The long-range sanctions plan is being implemented, and there are more and more of our mid-range strikes as well. In fact, we have succeeded in blocking off Russia's south, and we are expanding this strategic operation – quite rightly, in response to Russian strikes on our ports and our cities. And every level of pressure on Russia must bring that country – and its society, above all – closer to the point where they want to end their war. Our sanctions against Russian oil refineries and other facilities in Russia's oil sector, our mid-range strikes against Russian military logistics, and our operation in the waters of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov – all of this is working to limit Russia's war potential. It is important to continue this with more active political and legal measures as well. Today, there is a Ukrainian sanctions package targeting companies and vessels that are transporting grain and other goods stolen from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. We are preparing new sanctions packages against Russia's war industry, financial chains, and intermediaries.
