Zelensky espoused the crucial factor essential for compelling Russia to halt the military conflict
In a significant development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for strong sanctions and tariffs as a means to pressure Russia towards peace. In a Telegram post, Zelenskyy emphasised the importance of united European and American efforts in this regard.
Zelenskyy did not specify which banks or financial institutions the sanctions would target, nor did he provide a specific timeline for their implementation. However, he made it clear that the aim is to ensure there should be no possibility left for financing Russia's military machine.
The President's statement comes as 26 countries are ready to take actions to guarantee Ukraine's security. These countries, forming a "coalition of the willing," are prepared to provide military support on land, sea, and air to secure a ceasefire or peace in Ukraine. The coalition, led by France and Britain, includes mainly European states and partners such as Canada, Australia, and Japan, although the exact list has not been fully detailed publicly.
Zelenskyy concluded that further transatlantic work is needed to make the pressure truly felt. He urged everyone to do everything possible to make Moscow stop rejecting all peaceful initiatives.
The report of Zelenskyy's statement was made by Charter97.org, a news organisation that provides multiple options for donations, including through a multicurrency account, bank transfers, and various social media platforms.
It's worth noting that this statement does not indicate any new diplomatic negotiations with Russia. As of now, it remains to be seen how these united efforts will unfold and whether they will lead to a significant shift in Russia's stance on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
However, Zelenskyy's call for strong sanctions and tariffs underscores the growing international consensus that the key to nudging Russia towards peace lies in the united efforts of Europe and the US. It is hoped that these efforts will lead to a peaceful resolution to the conflict and a more stable future for Ukraine and the region as a whole.
