Putin wants to take over Ukraine. In Poltava, Chernihiv, and Odesa, we face drone attacks and ballistic missile strikes every night. This further proves that we urgently need an unconditional, strong, comprehensive, and all-out ceasefire. It can be implemented within an hour. Putin\u2019s pretext of a long-term peace agreement with unpredictable results is not what we are seeking,\u201d the fifth President stated.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"1007\">Poroshenko added that he has the authority to speak on this issue, having experience in negotiations with Putin since 2014.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1243\">\u201cI believe it was our victory, Ukraine\u2019s victory, and the victory of the Normandy Format with U.S. participation that allowed us to achieve a ceasefire in late 2014\u2013early 2015 within the framework of the Minsk Process,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1282961 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_4736-1024x577-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_4736-1024x577-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/prm.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_4736-1024x577-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/prm.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_4736-1024x577-1-768x433.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/prm.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_4736-1024x577-1-650x366.jpeg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"97\" data-end=\"523\">\u201cWhat was Putin\u2019s goal? To divide the entire Western world, to undermine all attempts at unity and solidarity. And he failed.
