No, Putin does not want peace. No, Putin does not want to negotiate. It is time to stop believing his lies.

It is URGENT to stop funding Russia, to cease direct or indirect participation in the supply of components necessary for the production of weapons of war, and to end the consumption of Russian gas.

Today, Russia has once again demonstrated its determination to plunge Ukraine into chaos. A large-scale attack targeted the country’s energy infrastructure. Ninety-three missiles and nearly 200 drones were launched, causing massive destruction and leaving thousands of households without electricity.

We are entering the third winter since the start of the full-scale war. A winter in which the civilian population, already exhausted by deprivation and bombings, will have a vital need for electricity to heat their homes and survive. As temperatures drop below freezing, these attacks aim to destroy an entire nation, making daily life unbearable for millions.

Funding Russia means prolonging the war. Every euro spent on Russian gas or resources directly fuels this war strategy, endangers innocent civilians, and supports a regime determined to spread terror.

“This is Putin’s ‘peace plan’: destroy everything. This is how he wants ‘negotiations’: by terrorizing millions of people. He has no limits in his long-range capabilities or in acquiring the components needed for missile production. Oil gives Putin enough money to believe in his impunity. A strong reaction is needed from the world: a massive response to a massive attack. This is the only way to put an end to terrorism,” President Zelensky declared on X.

The international community has a responsibility: to stop turning a blind eye to the consequences of its economic choices. The time for conciliatory rhetoric and illusions of peace is over. Putin does not want to negotiate; he wants to conquer, crush, and destroy.

By strengthening sanctions, cutting off all access to technologies and components used for weapons, and accelerating military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, we can help protect civilians and put pressure on the Russian regime.
