Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said in his speech on Wednesday evening that he feels that Russian aggression is approaching the point where he can give in, News.ro reports. He also thanked Denmark for the decision to create a billion-dollar support fund for Ukraine.

“Today was a fruitful international day for our country, for our defense. There was another meeting in the Rammstein format, already the tenth. Ammunition for our soldiers, artillery, tanks, protection of the Ukrainian sky – all this was discussed. There is a solution. I am grateful to the United States, which coordinates Ramstein, and to all our partners for their unwavering willingness to help. This is especially important now, when we feel that Russian aggression is approaching the tipping point. There is no terrorist who could develop his potential by confronting the free world. Russia is no exception,” Zelensky said.

“We must constantly increase the pressure of terror. Pressure in our defense, in sanctions against Russia, in disrupting how the Russian state and its companies evade sanctions, in political and legal pressure. The stronger we put pressure on them, the faster we will move towards the restoration of our territorial integrity and international legal order. We do everything to make our partners feel it. For this, it is necessary to maintain pressure. Step by step. Non-stop,” he added.

Zelensky thanked Denmark and also talked about the “important decision made in London”: “I would like to thank Denmark separately today. And for the new defense package for Ukraine, and for the decision to create a special aid fund for our country in the amount of 7 billion Danish kroner, i.e. one billion dollars. This is extremely important. This is extremely necessary. I am grateful to the government and parliament of Denmark, to the entire Danish society. Such solutions ensure the acceleration of the return of peace to Ukraine and stability throughout Europe. Also, an important decision was made in London today – in the case of bribery of Yanukovych by the Kremlin in 2013. When Russian money and dirty schemes with then politicians in Ukraine were used as part of the aggression against our country. The aggression that began then was political, economic, and then with the use of special services and military force. The $3 billion bond case should be seen in this context. Fully. And that’s right.”

Volodymyr Zelenskyi noted that on Wednesday he spoke before the participants of the British conference of the Society of Publishers. “This is a gathering of the best British media professionals, journalists, editors. People who actually dedicated their lives to freedom – freedom of speech. I urged them to spread the truth even more actively about Russian aggression, about our people, whose lives are being destroyed by Russia, about our defense, which is returning freedom and security to Ukrainians and all Europeans. Journalists – the free mass media of Ukraine and the world – did a lot during this war so that the Russian terror lost. So that Russian propaganda loses. And I want to emphasize: they did it simply by spreading information about what is happening here and now in Ukraine, in Europe, and in the world. They were just spreading the truth. This must be continued. The Kremlin will never defeat the truth. It won’t beat Ukraine either.”

“The world must know that the terrorist state seeks to destroy not only our people, but all peoples who want to be free,” he said.

As usual, Zelensky thanked everyone who helps “destroy the occupier” and defend the country.

“Of course, I am constantly in touch with our soldiers and commanders. Everything we do, everything the state does, is subordinated to one task: to give each soldier more fighting capacity, to give each city more security. As always, today I want to congratulate our soldiers who are achieving results in critical areas of the front line. Of course, Bakhmut. Of course, the Donetsk region in general. But also the south. And Kharkiv Region We do not forget about any of the areas of defense of the state. The occupier must be destroyed. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible! Glory to all who are currently fighting! Kudos to everyone who helps!” – noted the Kyivan.
