Russian oil must be stopped, and confiscated, and sold for Europe’s benefit. Why not? If Putin has no money, there’s no war for Europe. If Europe has money, then it can protect its people. Right now those tankers are making money for Putin and that means Russia continues to push its sick agenda.

We should not degrade ourselves to secondary roles – not when we have a chance to be a great power together. We should not accept that Europe is just a salad of small and middle powers, seasoned with enemies of Europe. When united we are truly invincible. Europe can and must be a global force. Not one that reacts late, but one that defines the future. That would help everyone – from the Middle East to every other region in the world. That would help Europe itself because the challenges we face now are challenges to the European way of life where people matter, where nations matter. Europe can help build a better world. Europe must build a better world. A world without war. But for that, Europe needs strength. For that, we must act together – and act in time. And most of all – we must have the courage to act.

I spoke with Franklin Graham, President of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse. I thanked him for his support of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, humanitarian aid, and the important guidance. I told him about our successful first step towards a just and lasting peace—the meeting between the delegations of Ukraine and the United States in Jeddah. Our state seeks peace more than anyone, which is why Ukraine accepts the United States' proposal for an unconditional 30-day full interim ceasefire. This is a good step to save people. The release of military prisoners of war and civilians in captivity, and the return of children could also be one of these steps. But now Russia is looking for various excuses to avoid ending the war. Pressure and unity from partners can change that. We value Franklin Graham's voice and rely on his support. Thank you for your prayers for Ukraine and peace.

Thank you for your support.
