Zelensky also thanked the European Council for the previously imposed five sanctions packages against Russia
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky discussed with European Council President Charles Michel the increase of sanctions pressure on Russia, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
“Today we discussed the direction where the EU can help us even more to stop this barbaric war against our civilians. The first is to increase sanctions pressure. We want to do everything to deprive Russia of the opportunity to finance this shameful war,” Zelensky said. He also thanked Charles Michel and the entire European Council for the previously imposed five sanctions packages against Russia. However, the president noted that sanctions are not enough to stop Russia's funding of the war.
“Unfortunately, some things, we believe, have not been completed by these sanctions, and they need to be analyzed in more detail and still implemented. Still, a little is not enough to stop funding for this from Russia,” – said the president. p>
