The President of Ukraine called for not reducing sanctions pressure and for imposing new sanctions so that Russia has fewer ways to adapt to this war and is forced to move toward negotiations.
And it is especially important to put pressure on Russia's oil sector. It simply cannot survive without free access of its oil to European seas. This is a critical route. If it is blocked, Russia will lose the ability to finance this war
According to him, every country that stops tankers of the Russian shadow fleet makes a real contribution to ending this war.
