Address by Zelensky to the EU
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, called on the leaders of the European Union to intensify pressure on Russia and support Ukraine amid ongoing aggression. He emphasized the need for concrete steps to stop the Russian war.
'The stronger your decisions are, the stronger our defense will be, and the closer we will be to ending Russian aggression,' Zelensky stressed.
The main demand of Ukraine is the adoption of a 'truly powerful 18th package of EU sanctions against Russia,' particularly regarding Russian oil trade, the tanker fleet, banks, and other financial instruments. Zelensky also criticized European companies that continue to supply essential components to Russia, threatening to provide evidence of such actions to European teams.
The Ukrainian president also demands a reduction in the price cap on oil to $30 per barrel to make it difficult for Russia to finance its aggression. Zelensky's address indicates the next stage of Ukraine's struggle for its rights and security amid the military threat from Russia.
