[00:00:00] I wish you good health, fellow [00:00:02] Ukrainians. There are several important [00:00:04] points worth mentioning today. [00:00:07] First, we continue working every day [00:00:09] specifically so that the next round of [00:00:10] negotiations can deliver results for [00:00:12] Ukraine, deliver results for peace. [00:00:16] Ukraine will definitely do whatever is [00:00:18] needed for this and will by no means [00:00:19] stand in the way of peace. [00:00:22] Last time in Geneva, the American side [00:00:25] clearly saw it is precisely the Russians [00:00:27] who are the reason no truly meaningful [00:00:28] results had yet been achieved and the [00:00:31] next meeting must not be a wasted [00:00:33] opportunity. It can be done. [00:00:37] We discussed today with Rooster Umarov [00:00:40] some aspects of negotiation preparations [00:00:43] and I am grateful to everyone who is [00:00:45] genuinely ready to help and who supports [00:00:47] us supports our state. [00:00:51] My meetings with European partners are [00:00:53] also already scheduled for next week. [00:00:57] We will coordinate in detail so that [00:00:59] Europe is involved in all processes and [00:01:01] grows only stronger. [00:01:03] I also instructed Rustin to work more [00:01:05] closely with our friends in the Middle [00:01:07] East and Turkey so that they also feel [00:01:09] invested and can help more. [00:01:13] I also spoke today with Mark Rut, [00:01:15] Secretary General of NATO. In many [00:01:18] respects, we share common views on the [00:01:19] diplomatic process and on the situation [00:01:21] in Europe. [00:01:24] Thank you, Mark. The second important [00:01:26] point, I want to commend the efforts of [00:01:28] the security service of Ukraine, the [00:01:30] National Police, and the Office of the [00:01:32] Prosecutor General. [00:01:35] They neutralized Russian mercenaries [00:01:37] preparing assassination attempts against [00:01:39] our citizens. [00:01:42] These were rather high-profile names, [00:01:43] and preventing such crimes is a [00:01:45] substantial result. [00:01:48] There were reports from Alexander PLAD [00:01:50] and this is yet another front in the [00:01:52] ongoing protection of Ukraine security, [00:01:54] the safety of Ukrainians and the [00:01:55] constant defense of the lives of our [00:01:57] people. [00:02:00] The way our Ukrainian special services, [00:02:02] our law enforcement, and our [00:02:04] intelligence neutralize Russian criminal [00:02:06] activity against Ukrainians. [00:02:09] They were preparing attacks against [00:02:11] Ukrainian military personnel, Ukrainian [00:02:13] intelligence officers, and Ukrainian [00:02:15] media workers. [00:02:17] It is important that all our Ukrainian [00:02:19] special services and law enforcement [00:02:21] continue to protect Ukrainian citizens [00:02:23] in exactly this coordinated way. And one [00:02:26] more thing, today Ukraine has introduced [00:02:29] new sanctions against the captains of [00:02:31] vessels involved in transporting Russian [00:02:33] oil, [00:02:35] 225 captains, and we will continue to [00:02:39] consistently impose sanctions and make [00:02:40] them global against everyone who helps [00:02:42] Russia earn money for war. [00:02:46] Many around the world support us and [00:02:49] often it is Ukrainian proposals that [00:02:51] form the basis of partners' sanctions. [00:02:54] We very much count in particular that [00:02:56] the next sanctions package of the [00:02:57] European Union takes into account what [00:02:59] is needed for real pressure on Russia [00:03:01] over this war for truly restricting [00:03:03] Russia's ability to wage it. [00:03:08] This includes, among other things, a ban [00:03:10] on maritime services for vessels used by [00:03:12] Russia. [00:03:16] Europe should come to this and this is [00:03:18] something that could become a [00:03:19] significant incentive from Europe for [00:03:21] Russia to finally move from war to [00:03:22] diplomacy to real diplomacy. [00:03:29] The war must be brought to an end. I [00:03:32] want to thank everyone who helps us. [00:03:35] Thank you. Glory to Ukraine.
