Zelenskyy on Shahed attack: Sanctions are not enough, world must limit trade ties with Russia
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy (Vitalii Nosach, RBC-Ukraine)
Russia continues to bombard Ukraine with missiles and drones. Already imposed sanctions and world pressure against Russia are not enough, and the world must restrict trade ties with a terrorist state, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his everyday address.
"And every fact of using components from the countries of the free world to produce weapons for Russian terrorists, in particular, missiles and Shaheds... Every such fact will be our argument that the existing sanctions and pressure against Russia are not enough," Zelenskyy says.
He noted that "the world must limit trade relations with a terrorist state to such an extent that no component from the free world can be used for terror."
