The policy of escalation management and appeasement do not work in relations with Russia; only economic and military pressure can force the aggressor to peace, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha believes.

"Excessive caution, 'escalation management,' and appeasement are all weak strategies that have never worked with Moscow. Only peace through strength – maximum economic and military pressure – will work. Goodwill in Moscow can be generated by superior firepower and crushing sanctions," he said on the X social network on Saturday.
