Zelensky about Russian attacks this week

--

Russia does not stop in its terror against Ukraine. Daily aggression against our people, our cities and villages. Strikes with various types of weapons. Over 1,100 guided aerial bombs, more than 560 attack drones and about 20 missiles of various types were used by the occupiers against our country this week.

Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen has called on European countries to invest more in defense and measures to contain the threat from Russia.

"I am prepared to expect everything from Putin. It is time for us to grow up. Putin is a dictator who only understands force," she said.

🇧🇬 Ukraine and Bulgaria have begun negotiations on a security agreement. The parties have agreed on a timeline for further talks to prepare the final text of the agreement as soon as possible.

❗️ "No concessions or compromises on Ukraine," says Putin.

"Any outcome must favor Russia, based on the realities on the battlefield. We’re not considering any concessions or trades," he stated directly.

The European Union is deeply alarmed by reports that North Korea is sending troops to participate in Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. This would constitute a serious breach of international law, including the most fundamental principles of the UN Charter.

"Deep concerns," as expected.
