He emphasized that the first step towards real peace is forcing Russia to cease its aggression. Meanwhile, Russia has criticized European Union leaders for what it deems 'confrontational rhetoric,' as the EU backed a significant defense spending initiative to enhance military capabilities in response to the ongoing conflict. Ukraine's position remains focused on achieving a lasting peace with the necessary support from Europe.
