Adviser to the Ukrainian President Yuriy Lutsenko stated this on air on the ICTV channel.

“Nobody is lifting sanctions, and not a single EU country or US doubts the alliance with Ukraine. This is a good basis for continuing pressure on Putin, especially since the economically the Kremlin empire, built on oil, is crumbling. Russia is a great gas station with nuclear missiles. And Russia's budget, by and large, is formed through oil trade. As you know, it is included in the Russian budget at a price of $120 per barrel. Now it's a little above 80. And this is a serious reason for Putin to rethink his position,” he said.
“I am confident that the Ukrainian cause will win,” assured Petro Poroshenko’s advisor.
