Quote: "The occupier is suffering very significant losses on [the part of] our land which is now under the Russian flag. Russian military logistics in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, and the very presence of the occupiers there, are severely hindered. And this is the right signal to Russia.

A signal that Russia will certainly not get away with stealing the land of the Ukrainian people, or of any other nation threatened today by Russian ambitions."

Details: Zelenskyy added that Ukraine will not allow Russia to use Ukrainian territory as a tool to prolong the war and turn the occupation into a permanent reality.

Quote: "Our operation, including the one concerning Crimea, is carefully calculated, and the way the operation is unfolding fully proves: if Ukraine receives exactly what we discussed with our partners within the G7 – and this depends on the partners' decision – we will promptly create the conditions that will force Russia to choose peace.

We very much count on a positive response from our partners – they know exactly what is meant. Right now, our military is taking out targets that sustain Russia's war effort both in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine and on Russia's own territory – the very things that make this war and Russian aggression possible in the first place."
