The positions are clear: we need to achieve <strong>real, lasting peace<\/strong>, not just another pause between Russian invasions. We must stop killings as soon as possible, end the fire both on the battlefield and in the air, and protect our port infrastructure. All Ukrainian prisoners of war and civilians must be freed, and the children kidnapped by Russia returned. Thousands of our people are still held captive and must be brought home.
