The Ukrainian president began his speech by quoting a post by Donald Trump on Truth Social from the other day. In it, the American president described Ukraine's attacks on Russian energy facilities as "a major blow" to Moscow.
At the same time, Trump, concerned about high diesel prices, has pressured Ukraine to stop the attacks.
"Oil or diesel or gasoline is not our goal, but Russia's ability to finance this war," Zelensky said.
Russia's finances and production are what must be stopped if Putin is to be stopped.
Zelensky also highlighted Vladimir Putin's repeated promises to make advances in the war.
It always sounds the same, just a few more months, and then he moves the deadline again.
Putin will fail this time too.
The president also praised his own country's success in developing military strategies to protect itself and fight back under the pressure of war.
When Russia started this war, they could never have imagined that Ukrainian long-range drones would one day reach its military factories in Siberia, on the Yamal Peninsula, thousands of kilometers from our borders.
He also turned to the countries from which people are reported to have been lured to Russia to fight on behalf of the Kremlin.
Don't let Russia pay for its madness with the lives of your citizens.
