00:00We are now in the critical phase of the war. We see that Russia is moving forces out of the
00:08north to reinforce them, to resupply them, to rearm them, and then to move them into the east, where we
00:16are expecting a major offensive.
00:21President Putin's aim is to try to control the whole of Donbass, and to establish a land bridge between Donbass
00:29and Russia.
00:36We have seen no indication that President Putin has changed his ambition to control the whole of Ukraine, and also
00:47to rewrite the international order.
00:49So we need to be prepared for a long haul. We need to support Ukraine, sustain our sanctions, and strengthen
01:01our defenses and our deterrence, because this can last for a long time, and we need to be prepared for
01:09that.
