The President added that the continuation of the sanctions policy should be, as should the synchronization of all Ukrainian sanctions with partners.
"Our long-range sanctions are bringing the russians back to reality. And this is absolutely fair, and most importantly - it limits the russian federation's ability to drag out this war. If russia does not want to switch to diplomacy voluntarily, it must be forced to do so. And I am grateful to everyone who helps us with this," the President noted.
