Zelensky: “Sanctions against Russia are not enough”
Russia’s firepower is also a priority for the Ukrainian president. Volodymyr Zelensky says that an analysis of the situation in the Russian military industry shows that pressure on Moscow should be increased.
“There was also a separate meeting with the Ministry of Strategy and Industry in Stavka – says the head of the Ukrainian state – I saw an intelligence report on the situation in the Russian military industry. We can clearly see which areas of pressure on Russia should be strengthened so that terrorist possibilities do not increase. Sanctions are not enough. There will be more. There will also be other actions of ours, Ukrainians, against the terrorist state. As long as Russia’s aggression continues, Russia’s losses should also be heard.”
