President Zelenskyy: The less Russia earns from oil, the fewer resources it has for war

“Europe, America, the Global South, other parts of the world – we must remain united. And together we must bring this war to a just conclusion,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Nov. 25.

I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!

Rescue operations at the sites of the Russian missile strikes have now been completed. In Kharkiv, 25 people were injured in what was preliminarily an S-400 strike. In Odesa, 11 people were injured, with preliminary reports indicating an Iskander missile was used. These attacks targeted civilian infrastructure, ordinary residential areas. Everyone affected has received the necessary assistance, and I am grateful to everyone who helps. We will definitely respond to Russia for everything it does. It is crucial that these attacks, each one of them, do not go unanswered – not only by us. There must not even be a hint of normalizing Russian terror or becoming desensitized to it. Today, there is a new decision from the United Kingdom regarding sanctions on Russia’s shadow tanker fleet. Thirty tankers have been sanctioned. This is an important step, and it would be right for European partners – on the whole EU level – as well as other partners to support such sanctions. The fewer excess profits Russia earns from oil, the fewer resources it will have to wage war. This is a clear connection – a connection that must work for the sake of real peace.
