Today I held several meetings on our foreign policy activity for the week ahead – covering weapons for Ukraine, financial support, and our shared political outcomes in relations between Ukraine and the European Union.

The organizers told the Head of State that during the exhibition, the pavilion was visited by over 3 million people from around the world, as well as over 140 official delegations.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Maliuk, Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Oleh Ivashchenko, Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha, and Advisor – Commissioner of the President for Sanctions Policy Vladyslav Vlasiuk to discuss the main directions of Ukraine’s ongoing sanctions efforts.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed two decrees enacting the decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine on the application of personal, special economic, and other restrictive measures.

Oil exports are the foundation of Russia’s arrogance, and if sanctions are maintained and strengthened, Russia will suffer significant losses. They could amount to at least 50 billion dollars next year, which is a strong argument for Russia to develop a motive to end this war.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of Slovenia Tanja Fajon.

We continue our sanctions work – we are preparing new sanctions, in particular against targets in Russia’s military production and their propaganda. We must gradually block all global contacts for every Russian entity working for the war. The decrees will be issued soon.
