Quote: “We continue preparing for the planned international events this week. There will be important activity, new communication with our partners.
The key thing now is the guarantee that the support for Ukraine will be sufficient next year as well. I am thanking all the countries who share our point of view.
Russia needs to get this signal: whatever they (the Russians – ed.) do, the world will not get tired of protecting freedom and international order.”
