EU sanctions once morest Russia do not go far enough for Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. He still insists on a gas embargo, but Germany is opposed to it. Despite all the criticism, Selenskyj sees a positive development in German-Ukrainian relations.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj has once more called for more support from Germany and a tougher course on the part of the federal government towards Russia. In an interview with the broadcaster Bild Live on Friday, Selenskyj praised the coal embargo in the new EU sanctions package once morest Russia and at the same time called for further measures. Some countries, including Germany, are ” once morest an oil and gas embargo,” Zelenskyj criticized.
The Ukrainian head of state once more called for more support. “Germany has not supported us with weapons. Germany has spoken openly regarding the fact that we will not be a member of NATO. But if we are honest: Germany’s rhetoric has changed. Germany is conservative and cold – but the train has moved “said Zelenskyy.
The people in Germany are “absolutely not cold,” emphasized the Ukrainian President. He saw the big demonstrations for Ukraine. “There was a lot of support. That’s where I saw the face of the Germans,” said Zelenskyy.
“I hate Russia”
Because of the Russian war of aggression once morest Ukraine, there is an intense debate in the European Union regarding stopping energy supplies from Russia. The EU’s fifth major package of sanctions once morest Russia came into force on Friday, including an embargo on Russian coal. The gas embargo demanded by Ukraine and the EU Parliament is rejected in particular by Germany and Austria.
Zelenskyj also commented on the broadcaster Bild Live regarding the rocket attack on a train station full of refugees in Kramatorsk, which killed at least 50 people on Friday. “I feel hatred towards Russia, towards Russian soldiers,” he said. “When I see these images before my eyes: murdered children with no legs, no arms. It’s a grudge, it’s terrible.”
