Zelensky thanked all those who work to tighten sanctions against Russia and increase military and financial support for Ukraine.
“This is the only prescription for protecting freedom from Russian aggression. For Western countries, this is not just a cost. It is not about accountability, it is about the future,” he said.
Zelensky revealed that Ukraine shot down the 200th Russian plane in the war on Friday, citing heavy Russian casualties in tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters and drones.

Zelensky said Ukraine was in “very difficult negotiations” to try to evacuate wounded fighters trapped in steel plants in Mariupol. “We are talking about a lot of people. Of course we are doing everything we can to evacuate the rest. All our defenders. We have already brought everyone.” “He can be the most powerful mediator in the world.”
