It's A Clear Signal

Russia isn't going to do any real negotiating.

War criminal Putin has just completely changed his so-called negotiating team. Instead of real negotiators again an absolute "know-name" Medinsky has been appointed. This is a clear signal: Russia is not going to have real negotiations. It is simulating the process to buy time.

Can we win this war? Yes, we can. Ukraine has already proved it on the battlefield. The question is different: whether there will be enough resources.

Today much depends on the position of the UK and the European Union. The UK is showing leadership. The Foreign Office has announced a massive aid package - about £500 million.This is extremely important for Ukraine. It is a concrete step that strengthens our defenses and brings victory closer.

We cannot fall into the trap of Russia's conditions on territories. If we assume, even hypothetically, that Ukraine would agree to give up its lands, which is absolutely unconstitutional - the aggressor's appetite will only increase. Then there will be new demands: no NATO, no Ukrainian army. This is the logic of ultimatums and maximalism.

Russia will not give up its imperial goals voluntarily. It can only be stopped by force, sanctions, isolation and systemic pressure.

We must increase this pressure until Putin realizes that this debilitating war is becoming a political and personal verdict for him. This is the only way to put an end to aggression.
