We must weaken Russia\u2019s war machine, reduce the resources available for financing the war, and eliminate any illusion in Moscow that military objectives can still be achieved on the battlefield,\u201d Sybiha said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n   <p>He emphasized that no single measure would be sufficient on its own, but that a combination of military, economic, diplomatic, and technological restrictions could create the conditions necessary to change Russia\u2019s calculations.<\/p>\n   <p>According to the foreign minister, the cumulative effect of stronger sanctions, tighter export controls, military pressure, and diplomatic isolation could significantly affect the Kremlin\u2019s ability to sustain its war effort.<\/p>\n   <p>\u201cA critical mass of such measures can genuinely alter the situation,\u201d Sybiha noted.<\/p>\n   <p>He stressed that time remains a crucial factor and warned against delaying additional actions.<\/p>\n    <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cTogether, we can deprive the Putin regime of the resources it needs and leave it with no alternative but to end the war. But action must be taken now, not later,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n   <p>The minister\u2019s appeal came amid continued Ukrainian strikes against military and economic targets inside Russia and in occupied territories.<\/p>\n   <p>President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently confirmed attacks on Russian naval logistics facilities, oil-industry infrastructure, and air-defense systems located on both sides of the Crimean Bridge.<\/p>\n   <p>Earlier, on June 20, Ukrainian forces struck the Antipinsky Oil Refinery in Russia\u2019s Tyumen region, approximately 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, demonstrating Kyiv\u2019s growing long-range strike capabilities.<\/p>\n   <p>Ukrainian officials increasingly argue that sustained pressure on Russia\u2019s military logistics, defense industry, energy sector, and financial resources is essential to reducing Moscow\u2019s ability to continue the war and creating conditions for a just and lasting peace.<\/p>\n   <p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/nawrocki-is-doing-what-orb-n-did-and-this-story-will-end-badly-zelenskyy-says\/\">Nawrocki Is Doing What Orb\u00e1n Did, and This Story Will End Badly, Zelenskyy Says<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has called on international partners to intensify &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1357999,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,49,36415,36422,53,55,50],"tags":[76,78,72928],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1393445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","category-11473-news-en-3","category-russia-en","category-ukraine-en","category-svit-en","tag-glavnoe-en","tag-homepage-en","tag-sanctions-on-russia"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
