ZELENSKYY: Russia is not showing good will, it must be forced #shorts

Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:01]I signed a new Ukrainian sanctions package, a substantial package including measures against entities from Belarus.

[00:00:08]This is a signal to many of our partners on whom they should increase pressure in order to reduce the level and intensity of this war. Russia does not demonstrate goodwill. It needs to be forced into steps that actually lead to a reduction of aggression. Then they can call it their own gestures of goodwill. It is important that Belarus should not be dragged into the war, that there should be no aggressive operations against other European countries and that this Russian war against Ukraine should end with a fair and honorable peace. Thank you to everyone who fights and works so that Ukraine can have precisely this future. And one more thing, today there is a decision from the United States, exactly what we agreed on Sunday at the Chernobyl conference. We are talking about the necessary funds to restore the confinement structure that covers the fourth power unit. The United States is allocating $100 million.

[00:01:05]The confinement was damaged by a Russian attack drone and must be fully restored.

[00:01:10]This is an important step of American support. We are also working with other partners to ensure all guarantees of energy and nuclear security.
