What matters most to me and why? I do not know whether the current presidents of a state fighting for its freedom have ever answered this question. But here is my answer. Weapons, sanctions, finances, blockade and confiscation of all Russian assets, a fair tribunal against all war criminals, updated efficient security architecture that will prevent such new wars in the world. And, of course, a complete restoration of normal peaceful life in our country.

As expected, the situation in Donbas is very difficult. The occupiers are trying to achieve in at least a hundred days of war the goals they hoped to achieve in the first days after February 24. Therefore, they concentrated maximum artillery, maximum reserves in Donbas. There are missile strikes and aircraft attacks - everything. We are protecting our land in the way that our current defense resources allow. We are doing everything to increase them. And we will increase them.

🇬🇧Today we need to win and restore the economy of Ukraine. Because it is not possible to talk about the full-scale work when with martial law having been introduced in the country and the city is under the constant threat of rocket attacks. This was stated by the Mayor of Odesa Gennady Trukhanov in an interview with Kyodo News.
According to the Mayor, the situation is aggravated by the fact that, fearing for their lives, many specialists left the territory of Ukraine.
The Mayor also pointed out that the main threat to Odesa today is the encirclement of the city and missile attacks from the sea.
“Now the defense line of Mykolaiv is being built in order not to let the enemy go further. We, in Odesa, need anti-ship missiles to counter missile strikes and landing ships,” said Gennady Trukhanov.

🇬🇧Odesa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov met with the founder of the World Central Kitchen, Mr. José Andrés. WCK is a non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to providing nutrition after natural disasters.
According to the Mayor of Odesa, the joint work of the city authorities and this organization has already shown its effectiveness, because today the main priority is to help people.
“Our task is to share our experience. Catering for people is difficult even in peacetime, and when an emergency occurs, it is doubly difficult. That is why we are here to say: “Catering is not a problem,” said Mr. José Andrés.
WCK has been cooperating with Odesa since March 14th. As of May 28, the city received 23 wagons and 12 trucks of a variety of canned food and long-term storage products.

We work every day to strengthen our defense. This is primarily a supply of weapons. Every day we are bringing closer the time when our army will surpass the occupiers technologically and by firepower. Of course, a lot depends on the partners. On their readiness to provide Ukraine with everything necessary to defend freedom. And I expect good news on this already next week.

🇬🇧🇮🇹During the ceremony, a video address by the Mayor of Odesa Gennady Trukhanov was shown, in which he thanked Italy, which fully supported the initiative to include Odesa in the main list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
"Odesa is a city that is historically very closely connected with Italy. The Italian footprint in our architecture has greatly contributed to its world-famous color. In Odesa, there are buildings and structures built by legendary Italian architects, "said Odesa Mayor.
The Mayor expressed special gratitude for the hospitality with which Venice received Ukrainian refugees, including Odesa residents, because, according to Trukhanov, "no Odesa resident can live without the sea."

Addressing the European Council, I emphasized: Europe must show strength. Because Russia perceives only strength as an argument. It's time. It’s time for you to be not separate, not fragments, but one whole. Ukraine has shown by its own example why this is important. In our country, starting from February 24 there is the maximum unity, everyone is working for one result - state protection. And thanks to this we managed to do what the world did not expect: Ukraine stopped the Russian army – and everyone was afraid of it, remember? – and managed to liberate part of our occupied territory. Greater unity is truly the foundation of this strength. You know this. Finally, all quarrels in Europe must end, internal discord that only encourages Russia to put more and more pressure on you.

Today in the Luhansk region, the occupiers disrupted the evacuation from the areas of hostilities by firing at a car following the locals. French journalist Frédéric Leclerc-Imhoff was killed by the shelling. He worked for the French TV channel BFM TV. A little over a month ago, I gave an interview to this particular TV channel. This was my first interview with the French media during a full-scale war. My sincere condolences to Frédéric's colleagues and family. He became the 32nd media representative killed after February 24.

🇬🇧putin has done enormous damage to Ukraine. At the same time, he inflicted damage on his own people. This opinion was expressed by the Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, in an interview with the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung.
“Of course, I’m not particularly interested in what will happen there. But I think that he doomed his own people to, to put it mildly, a very difficult existence in the world community,” the Mayor added.

🇬🇧Odesa is a European city and is open to European guests. This opinion was expressed by Mayor Gennady Trukhanov in an interview with the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung.
“Odesa was created and built by Europeans. I spent a lot of time in sister cities with which we had previously lost relations and restored them, just like our monuments of architecture built by the Italians. After the Victory, we are waiting for the whole of Europe to visit us, ”added Trukhanov.

Finally, we have the specifics about the European Union's sixth sanctions package on Russia for this war.
The package was agreed.
Its approval and entry into force will take some time. But the key elements of the package are already clear, and most importantly - its direction.
European countries have agreed to significantly limit oil imports from Russia. And I am grateful to everyone who worked to reach this agreement.
The practical result is minus tens of billions of euros, which Russia will now be unable to use to finance terror.
