It is only possible to speak to putin from a position of strength, so sanctions and weapons are needed — Kira Rudik

putin perceives attempts to negotiate as a weakness of the West. For truly effective negotiations, they must be conducted from a position of strength. This means new economic pressure on the aggressor and Ukraine's armaments. Ukrainian MP and «Golos» party leader Kira Rudik emphasizes this. «The illusion that it is possible to negotiate with the kremlin appeared at the beginning of this year in the new Trump administration. We appreciate the attempts to find a way out of this terrible war, but what we see is that putin perceives the attempts to negotiate with them as another round of appeasement of the aggressor.  The attacks are becoming more and more aggressive and kill more and more Ukrainians», — the MP emphasizes. Since the russian dictator understands only the language of strength, it's time to demonstrate it. «We urge the Trump administration to move forward with the plan he has announced: peace through strength. This means creating maximum economic pressure on the aggressor state with the parallel arming of Ukraine», — the leader of «Golos» emphasizes.
