During today's meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, decisions were agreed upon that could help both Ukraine and its allies. However, the details have not yet been disclosed, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Following the meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, Zelenskyy announced that more sanctions would be imposed against Russia. These measures, he said, would be similar to those introduced by the United States.
The President praised Washington's sanctions as "a very right move by President Donald Trump, noting that the targeted companies export large volumes of oil.
According to Zelenskyy, all participants of the coalition agreed on the need to continue pressuring Russia's oil industry, including its companies, terminals, and tanker fleet.
"Today, we agreed on decisions that can help us a lot. We will not disclose all the details yet, to make things harder for Putin," Zelenskyy said.
He added that although Russia claims sanctions do not affect its economy, fuel shortages, regional bankruptcies, and a federal budget deficit continue to grow inside Russia.
"Sanctions remain one of the most painful blows for Putin, personally for him," Zelenskyy emphasized.
