Zelensky: "Supporters of Moscow Back to Russia"

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, called for full and comprehensive sanctions against Russia, including its nuclear sector, in a speech on social media. He thanked Donald Trump for the sanctions imposed on Russian energy giants such as Lukoil and Rosneft, and stressed that the US could go further by imposing restrictions on Russia's nuclear sector. Zelensky acknowledged that European countries have taken measures, but pointed out that they have not imposed sanctions on the Russian state nuclear company Rosatom, or on individuals connected to it. He also referred to Russian officials and their relatives who live and invest in European countries and the United States, benefiting from the revenues of the Russian energy industry. His post ended with harsh language, calling on those who do not respect democracy, the United States, Europe and Ukraine to return to Russia. Zelensky emphasized that sanctions must be comprehensive to send a strong message to Europe.
