We continue to bring people back from Russian captivity: today, another 160 service members are home. Almost all of them had been in captivity since 2022.

We must bring back everyone – military personnel and civilians – who are still in Russian captivity.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a phone call with President of Latvia Edgars Rinkēvičs.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed decrees enacting decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine to extend sanctions against entities supporting Russia’s military-industrial complex and impose sanctions on collaborationists who have betrayed Ukraine.

“It is clear to everyone that it is Russia that is prolonging the war and ignoring all of Ukraine’s diplomatic proposals. That is why we must work as actively as possible to strengthen our country and our people,” the Head of State noted.
