Ukraine Ready To Support De-Escalation — Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that his country is accelerating its efforts to defend against Russia's jet-powered Shaheds. The United States has proposed a mutual halt to strikes on critical infrastructure, and Ukraine is prepared to support this de-escalation initiative. The focus of Ukrainian government and parliament is now on passing legislative documents that are crucial for state budget financing.

Zelenskyy emphasized the need to complete these laws swiftly, as they are essential for Ukraine's defense and resilience. He also highlighted the importance of verifying tax service and other agencies' work to ensure a 100% contribution to the state budget. Zelenskyy criticized fraudulent call centers in Ukraine and called for strict criminal liability, as well as the dismissal of the current prosecutor general.

He reiterated his stance against lifting sanctions on Russian oligarchs and advocated for stronger sanctions, including anti-ballistic measures against Russian ballistic missile production. Zelenskyy expressed hope that the United States and Ukraine could work together to implement a mutual halt to strikes on critical infrastructure, which he believes could be a meaningful step towards de-escalation.
