Zelensky: Pressure on Russia is increasing through sanctions
Kyiv, May 5 (Hibya) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that international pressure on Russia is increasing as he evaluated the United Kingdom’s new sanctions.
Ukrainian President Zelensky referred to internet outages in Russia’s capital Moscow and developments within the country, stating that Russia is increasingly feeling the effects of the war.
Zelensky noted that new sanction measures were discussed with allied countries during meetings held in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.
He also drew attention to the new sanctions package announced by the Government of the United Kingdom, stating that 35 individuals and entities involved in Russia’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) production were targeted. It was noted that the sanctions also respond to the recruitment of foreign nationals to the war zone through deceptive methods.
Zelensky said that intelligence findings regarding individuals from North Africa and the Middle East being sent to the front lines have been under review for a long time, and that new sanction decisions are on the way in this context.
The Ukrainian leader thanked the United Kingdom, sharing the message: “Russia must feel that the war needs to be ended.”
