Briefing by News4U · First published
Today Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X that sanctions are necessary, and that partners in Europe and around the world must focus on restricting Russia’s weapons production. He said this applies to individual sanctions against Russian entities working for Putin and his system, and to businesses through which Russia obtains scarce components, equipment and machine tools to produce weapons, including ballistic missiles, attack drones and communications systems. “We must restrict Russia’s weapons production, and this is one of the best ways to push Russia toward taking real steps toward peace,” Zelenskyy wrote. He said Ukraine’s long-range sanctions are working, and that he made the remarks during a joint press conference with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin. [1]
