At the same time, he emphasized that in order to force Russia to make peace, it is necessary to act now, in the coming months.
We must act together — everyone who has the necessary power, the necessary influence to guarantee a reliable peace, to force Russia to peace. But it is necessary to act now, in these months. Strengthen our guys at the front. Strengthen our common positions. Now, at the team level, we will work with partners in Europe to maximize each planned step, and this Plan of ours must lead to an effective second Peace Summit to end the war. And that it was a fair, honest end to the war.
