Russians may be preparing for new offensive operations, world unity and pressure on Russia important – Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the leaders of the European Union for their clear support of independence and territorial integrity, and noted that the Russian Federation is not preparing to end the war, so it is necessary to continue to put pressure on Russia - "pressure of strength, pressure of sanctions, pressure of diplomacy."

“We see that the Russian army is not preparing to end the war. On the contrary, they are making movements that indicate preparations for new offensive operations. In such circumstances, it is important that the unity of the world is not threatened,” Zelenskyy said on X Tuesday.

The President noted that Russia must be held accountable for its refusal to stop the killings.

“Issues related to the security of Ukraine and Europe are discussed by all of us together. Any decision must add to our joint security capabilities. And if Russia refuses to stop the killings, it must be held accountable. As long as they continue the war and occupation, all of us together must maintain our pressure – the pressure of strength, the pressure of sanctions, the pressure of diplomacy. I thank everyone who is helping. Peace through strength,” he stressed.

Zelenskyy thanked EU leaders for supporting Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity, and US President Donald Trump for “an active approach to diplomacy that can help end this war with a dignified peace.”

“I am grateful to the leaders of Europe for their clear support of our independence, territorial integrity, and precisely such an active approach to diplomacy that can help end this war with a dignified peace. Indeed, we all support President Trump’s determination, and together we must shape positions that will not allow Russia to deceive the world once again,” the head of the Ukrainian state noted.
