Kyiv • UNN
The President of Ukraine emphasized the importance of sanctions against Russia, which should precede its adaptation. He stressed the need for restrictions against oil, banks and individuals.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced preparations for international meetings in the coming weeks, noting that the clear task for the Ukrainian team is the need for partners to understand that sanctions against Russia are really working, UNN reports.
We are also continuing preparations for international meetings in the coming weeks. A clear task for all levels of our representatives is that we need partners to understand that sanctions against Russia are really working. They really work when they are ahead of the Russian authorities in adapting to these sanctions. Sanctions against oil. Sanctions against Russian banks and the entire financial sector. Sanctions against individuals and legal entities that help Russia adapt to the pressure of the world
He stressed that a clear limit is also needed for Russia's ability to adapt - such pressure that they cannot live with. And this, according to Zelenskyy, will be the limit of the war, beyond which a reliable peace is possible.
