⚡️Zelensky came out with NEWS after Budanov's briefing. An urgent STATEMENT on Russia. Hear it FIRST - War & Politics 24
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in his evening address, spoke to Ukrainians with updates.
“I spoke with Kyrylo Budanov — including about sanctions policy. Over the past year, new cooperation has been established with many partners to synchronize sanctions, but the pace must increase — significantly increase. Russian missile and drone production cannot exist without the supply of components from other countries, and this applies not just to some individual Russian products, but to all Russian weapons. These weapons are built on components that Russia itself does not produce. Therefore, blocking supplies and expanding sanctions is one of our key priorities. This must also be a priority for our partners; our institutions must work more actively toward this. Budanov also reported on part of the meetings within the diplomatic track,” the president stated. - 01/11/2026.
