Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski on Monday urged the European Union (EU) to stop all “trade” with Russia, and especially reject its energy resourcesin a video on Telegram messaging.
“No euro for the occupiers, close all your doors, do not send your goods, reject energy resources,” the Ukrainian president asked. “Without trade with you, without your companies and your banks, Russia will have no more money for this war,” he added.
His message coincides with the celebration this Monday of a meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Defense of the EU in Brussels to examine possible new sanctions against Moscowalmost a month after the Russian invasion on February 24.
The Europeans, highly dependent on Russian hydrocarbons, have so far ruled out sanctioning this sector, which is very important for the Russian economy.
“Please do not sponsor the weapons of war of that country, of Russia”Zelensky said, who then addressed the Germans directly: “You have the strength, Europe has the strength,” he launched.
Germany has been criticized for its opposition to an immediate embargo on Russian hydrocarbons, on which it is heavily dependent.
The Kremlin estimated on Monday that a potential European embargo on Russian oil would affect “the whole world.” (I)
