“It’s not just Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it’s the beginning of a war against Europe. Against the unity of Europe. Against basic human rights in Europe. Against all the rules of coexistence on the continent. Against the fact that European states refuse to divide, to divide borders by force… I’m sure you see it – all of you, all of Europe. But we do not fully see what you are going to do with it. How are you going to defend yourself when you are helping us in Ukraine so slowly? ” – he said.

According to Zelensky, sectoral sanctions are already in place against Russia, and Ukraine is grateful for that. The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand have imposed such sectoral sanctions against Russia. In particular, against all major banks. Against the largest Russian enterprises. Against Russia’s access to Western technologies.
“But Russian tanks are still firing on houses in our cities. Armored vehicles are still attacking, including civilians. Ordinary citizens of Ukraine. Europe has enough strength to stop this aggression. What to expect from European countries? Cancellation of visas for Russians? Disconnect from SWIFT? Complete isolation of Russia? Recall of ambassadors? Oil embargo? Closing the sky? Today, all this must be on the table, because it is a threat to us, to all of us, to all of Europe. You can still stop the aggression. We must act without delay, “the President added.
At the same time, the aggressor began artillery shelling of the territory and settlements of Ukraine along the state border and on the border with the occupied Crimea.
Martial law was imposed throughout Ukraine.
