Zelenskyy urges global public to increase pressure on Russia

"The most important thing we can achieve together is to end the war with a just peace and to establish reliable security guarantees for Ukraine and all of Europe — so that no one in Europe is left feeling unprotected. And we can do this. So please, I ask you to support every effort aimed at applying fair and justified pressure on Russia," Zelenskyy said.

He emphasized the importance of supporting diplomacy, as well as political and economic pressure.

"Please, call for new and effective sanctions against Russia and its regime — to stop the killings, to stop the attacks, to achieve real peace, and to ensure that Russia feels the responsibility for this war. That it is felt in Moscow. We need determination at every level. And the more cities and communities speak about this, the better," the president said.

At the same time, he emphasized that efforts should be made to force the Russian people themselves to seek peace.

"Right now, they are looking for ways to prolong this war. In my view, what they are doing is bargaining over it. They must feel that peace is necessary. And please, help us not only by staying resilient, but also through important political work in the name of peace," Zelenskyy concluded.
