President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Russia is trying to block Ukraine's access to maritime logistics, so pressure on Russia from the international community must increase.

Details: Zelenskyy said that everyone needs to see that without pressure on Russia, there will be no real intention there to end the aggression.
Quote: "The pressure must increase. That is why next week – even though it will be Christmas week, when political activity around the world slows down – we will remain in contact with partners, with everyone who can help us defend our state, our people, our energy sector, and our resilience; with everyone who is working to exert pressure on Russia; with everyone who is making the end of the war real."
More details: The president added that there should still be relevant news this year: support packages for Ukraine and decisions that will reduce Russia's ability to wage war.
Background:
