President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that sanctions against Russia should remain in place until it fully compensates for all the damage caused by its war.
Source Zelenskyy at a summit in Brussels, as reported by European Pravda Details Zelenskyy believes that sanctions pressure on Russia must continue, and current diplomatic efforts toward a peaceful resolution should not lead to any easing of this pressure.
Quote Sanctions must remain in place until Russia starts withdrawing from our land and fully compensates for the damage caused by its aggression.
I urge you to keep fighting against sanction evasion schemes and Russias attempts to finance its war effort. Details He said that Moscow frequently breaks its promises one moment they give their word, and a few hours later it means absolutely nothing..
Thats why we must keep pushing Russia toward peace.
Together with you, of course, with the United States, and with our other partners, we can do this, Zelenskyy noted.
Background Earlier, it was reported that Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is threatening to block further European sanctions against Russia if, in his view, they threaten the peaceful settlement of the war in Ukraine.
Recently, the EU removed from its sanctions list Gulbakhor Ismailova, sister of Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov, Russian oligarch Viatcheslav Kantor and Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev.
Their removal from the EU sanctions list demanded by Hungary as a condition for extending the entire list, which includes around 2,400 individuals involved in violating Ukraines territorial integrity.
The Financial Times reported that the EU is losing patience with Hungary and wants to deprive it of its voting rights.
