Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that if Russia has not abandoned its plans against Ukraine, a new sanctions package is needed. In particular, rejection of oil and oil products from Russia. He said this in a video message.

"If the invasion continues and Russia has not abandoned its plans against Ukraine, then a new sanctions package is needed. New sanctions moves against war and for peace. A boycott of Russian exports. Specifically, refusing oil and petroleum products from Russia. You can call it an embargo, or you can just call it morality. When you refuse to give money to a terrorist. Boycott imports to Russia," Zelensky said.

Zelensky stressed that if the Russian Federation does not want to adhere to civilized rules, it should not receive goods and services from civilization either.

"Let the war feed them. The international community must act even more decisively. When someone loses his mind, we must lose fear and forget about commerce. We have to defend ourselves. We have to be moral. Both states and companies. We have to fight against the inhuman force that wants to destroy humanity itself. The success of the Ukrainian army. The will of the Ukrainian people. The principle of international sanctions. This is the way to peace," said the President.

The West imposed several packages of sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. In particular, the EU approved the disconnection of seven Russian banks from SWIFT.
