Strong sanctions and tariffs will force Russia to make peace — Zelenskyy
Zelenskyy summed up important meetings with partners aimed at achieving peace in Ukraine.
Copenhagen, Paris, Uzhhorod. First, a meeting with our friends from the North-Baltic Eight. Then — a coalition of the willing, over 35 countries. Visits of the President of the European Council, the Prime Minister of Slovakia, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden to our Transcarpathia. Many negotiations these days to give Ukraine even more strength, even more stability.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
The President noted that all of free Europe, America, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and other partners in the world stand alongside Ukraine.
Our result: 26 countries are already ready to take action to guarantee Ukraine's security. I am grateful to all leaders for our joint work.
But before guaranteeing peace, we need to push Russia towards it, Zelenskyy is confident.
Everything must be done to make Moscow stop rejecting all peace initiatives and realize the consequences of prolonging the war. Strong sanctions and tariffs — a joint European and American effort — are the key to this. No opportunity to finance Russia’s war machine must remain. Then — more transatlantic work to make the pressure truly felt.
