The occupiers will feel what it means when the world condemns them."

According to the President, the more far-reaching the Ukrainian actions are, the sooner the Russian atrocities will end.

The President has held a meeting on Euro-Atlantic integration and the inevitability of combining the potentials of Ukraine and NATO.
