What is happening in the negotiations with the United States and with Russia is a matter of our partners’ very genuine interest. Our teams are working intensively – just today, we’ve been working with government officials and the Office of the President team on the reconstruction document. I hope our partners are approaching the tasks with the same determination. Clear security guarantees for Ukraine and all of Europe, fully defined commitments and opportunities for Ukraine’s reconstruction, and, of course, real prospects to bring this war to a dignified conclusion. Right now, there can be no doubt anywhere in the world about what this war is, who started it, or why the war continues. Everyone understands that this is Russia’s war. And the responsibility to end the war also lies with Russia. And Russia must face the pressure.

We are now getting good signals from Europe about Europeans’ readiness to step up pressure on the aggressor. It is crucial that this pressure targets, in particular, Russia’s tanker fleet – the entire infrastructure of Russian oil exports. This will greatly help all of us in Europe if Russian revenues are cut even deeper. We already see the aggressor’s colossal new problems with the federal budget, as well as inflation and economic indicators. These are all good and right signals that peace can, at last, be achieved. The more difficult it is for Russia, the closer peace becomes.
