We must de-occupy all the lands. Address by the President, 07.10.2022

Ukraine confirmed its respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Japan, including its Northern territories, which are still under Russian occupation.
Today, I signed the relevant decree. There is a corresponding statement of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. And we call on everyone in the world to make similar decisions.
With this war against Ukraine, against the international legal order, against our people, Russia has put itself in conditions - and it is now only a matter of time - of the real liberation of everything that once was seized and is now under the control of the Kremlin.
The aggressor must lose. So be it. So that such wars do not happen again and that the peace is really long-term. Nothing should be left for the invaders. I believe: justice will be restored for our partners as well.
