Says sanctions on Russia is a welcome development
Zelensky Hails Biden For Imposing New Sanctions Against Russia, 9jaglover reports.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has commended Biden for Introducing new sanctions against Russia.
According to CNN , The Biden administration on Friday targeted Russia’s energy sector, including its oil industry, with some of its harshest sanctions to date meant to cut off funding for Moscow’s war against Ukraine.
However, zelensky expressed his gratitude to Biden whom he believed did the right thing before leaving office in few days.
“I am grateful to @POTUS, his administration, and the entire American people for today’s announcement of a new sanctions package targeting over 400 entities linked to Russia’s energy sector. The bipartisan support of the United States truly matters, and we feel it deeply.”
Furthermore, he disclosed that such sanctions would hit hard on Russia and affect it’s economy!
“These measures deliver a significant blow to the financial foundation of Russia’s war machine by disrupting its entire supply chain: key Russian producers, insurance companies, service providers in the oil and gas industry, 184 shadow fleet tankers, logistics facilities, and third-country companies.
Particularly notable is the pressure on entities like Surgutneftegaz, a key financial wallet for Putin personally. Such actions send a clear message: criminals must pay for their crimes. The less revenue Russia earns from oil and other energy resources, the sooner peace will be restored.
Energy resources should never be used as weapons, as Russia does. Countries that respect international law can and should ensure stable and reliable energy supplies for the entire world.”
On the the hand, Zelensky express his confidence that the 400 sanctions against Russia energy infrastructure will reduce their aggression in Ukraine.
“We are deeply grateful for America’s leadership in holding Russia accountable. I am confident these steps will significantly reduce Russia’s petrodollar income and, with it, its ability to continue its aggression.”.
In summary, Ukraine and Russia conflict started since February 2021, when Russia invaded Ukraine!
