00:00Our delegation is now in Istanbul and we are ready to take the necessary steps for peace.

00:26Naturally, the starting point should be a ceasefire and humanitarian actions, the release

00:33of prisoners and the return of abducted children.

00:38And all key issues can be resolved at the level of leaders.

00:42And if Russia undermines even this initial agenda, and if the Istanbul meeting brings

00:50nothing, that clearly means strong new sanctions are urgently needed.

00:57Specifically, the strongest sanctions President Trump promised.

01:02Sanctions should hit Russian energy, especially oil and tankers, price caps of course, and also

01:09Russian banks and the financial sector overall.

01:12This is a special moment.

01:14On the one hand, Russia has launched its summer offensive, but on the other hand, they are

01:20being forced to engage in diplomacy.

01:23And this is both a challenge and a real opportunity for us all, a chance to try to end this war.

01:31We also have stronger tactical solutions.

01:34Our operation Spiderweb yesterday proved that Russia must feel what its losses mean.

01:42That is what will push it toward diplomacy.

01:45And when Russia takes losses in this war, it's obvious to everyone that Ukraine is the one

01:51holding the line, not just for itself, but for all of Europe.

01:55Thank you, dear Volodymyr, and I think we will have you in the second part of our conference.
