He made these remarks during a speech at the congress of the \u2018Homeland Union \u2013 Lithuanian Christian Democrats\u2019 party in Vilnius, according to the \u2018European Solidarity\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/eurosolidarity.org\/2026\/09\/05\/poroshenko-u-vilnyusi-porivnyav-povitryanyj-teror-rosiyi-iz-otochennyam-kyyeva-u-2022-roczi\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI call this the second siege of Kyiv. In 2022, Putin tried to take Kyiv with tanks and artillery. Today, he is trying to achieve the same goal, but by other means \u2013 hours-long waves of drones and missile strikes,\u201d Poroshenko noted.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the aggressor\u2019s strategic aim is to create chaos and disrupt normal life in the capital in order to wear down the population and undermine the economy. \u201cThis is a war against life: strikes on transport, the energy sector, logistics and production facilities,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>Poroshenko emphasised that protecting the economy is part of national defence, and that business is a key component of the country\u2019s resilience. He called for the maximum concentration of air defence resources for Ukraine, in particular Patriot systems and anti-drone capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery interceptor missile means a life saved, a hospital that continues to operate, a train that reaches its destination. That is precisely why I am counting very much on Lithuania and its voice in Europe,\u201d said the leader of \u201cEuropean Solidarity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Translated with DeepL.com (free version)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ukrainian MP Petro\u00a0Poroshenko, leader of the European Solidarity party,\u00a0stated that Ukraine has entered a new phase of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160243,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[93],"tags":[75191,171,37780,75192,170],"class_list":["post-160242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vilnius","tag-european_solidarity","tag-lithuania","tag-lithuanian","tag-poroshenko","tag-vilnius"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/117219487019661297","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
