Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “Strong signals are needed from the United States, Europe, and other partners – signals in support of Ukraine and to…”

Unfortunately, the lifting of sanctions will continue. I believe the 'diesel deal' is just the first step.

Nevertheless, we very much hope — and I personally hope — that the president of the United States of America will do everything possible to make Putin stop the killing, stop the attacks on our energy infrastructure, and end this war.

They are slightly on Russia’s side. And by ‘slightly,’ I mean not direct weapons supplies, but a greater openness to them, a greater willingness to help them rather than us – and for a country as large as China, ‘slightly’ means a lot.

Pressure is needed to stop this. A U.S. sanctions blackout, easing pressure on the aggressor, financial rewards for Putin – all of this only encourages him to keep attacking.
