Ukraine will not agree with the passive sanctions position towards Russia – Zelenskyy
Ukraine cannot and will not agree with the passive sanctions position of some entities towards Russia. The imposition by Western countries of an embargo on the export of oil and gas from Russia should not be tied to its use of chemical weapons in Ukraine.
– There should be no “suspended” sanctions packages – that if the Russian troops do something, then there will be some answer. We went through this story last year when we said that strong preventive sanctions against Russia were needed to prevent an invasion. The preventive package was not made. A full-scale war has begun, – Zelenskyy explained.
Zelenskyy noted, that there are now many hints and warnings that sanctions will be tightened, such as an embargo on Russian oil supplies to Europe, if Russia uses chemical weapons.
– Just think about what it all came down to. Waiting for chemical weapons… We, living people, have to wait… Doesn’t everything that the Russian military is doing and has already done deserve an oil embargo? Don’t phosphorus bombs deserve that? Do the shelled chemical production or nuclear power plant deserve that?
The head of state is convinced that the embargo on the export of oil and gas from the Russian Federation should not be tied to the use of chemical weapons by the aggressor country on the territory of Ukraine.
