Ukrainian President has called on European countries to give up Russia’s energy resources and stop funding Russia’s military machine. Volodymyr Zelensky said this in a video address.

“First of all, we need an oil embargo, and Europe’s clear readiness to give up all Russian energy. The European Union must stop sponsoring Russia’s military machine”, - the Ukrainian president said, calling for Western countries to step up sanctions against Russia.
