‘Crucial moment’: Zelenskyy urges more Russia sanctions | Al Jazeera

Ukraine’s president is calling on Western countries to impose additional sanctions on Russia as more evidence emerged of civilian killings in areas previously occupied by Russian troops.

“Now it’s a crucial moment, first of all for Western leaders,” he said in his nightly video address. “After the things the world saw in Bucha, sanctions against Russia must be commensurate with the gravity of war crimes committed by the occupiers.”

He stressed that even if the war ends, Russia must not be allowed to go back to trading as normal and that European leaders who attempt it would pay a political penalty.
