Russia-Ukraine crisis: Zelensky expects ‘united position’ from EU on sanctions
He also criticized the UN Security Council for their alleged ineffectiveness in preventing hostilities
Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for more unity among EU countries in terms of sanctions against Russia.
“The European Union should be in a united position. They don’t have it with respect to certain sanctions. For those sanctions the European Union introduced, we are thankful to them. However, they have to be thankful to themselves because the role of Russia against Ukraine, it’s a war against the values that Ukraine defends, and these values are the values of the European Union countries,” Zelensky said in an interview with Fox News on Saturday.
He also criticized the United Nations and the UN Security Council for their alleged ineffectiveness in preventing hostilities.
“I’m open to saying about that organization [UN], especially on such high level, that it doesn’t work,” Zelensky said.
In contrast, he praised the role of Washington as a strong global leader, particularly in what concerns the anti-Russia sanctions campaign.
“So far, I think that the United States of America is the accelerator of the sanction policies and I think they do more than any other country. And this is the way it should be because they are the most powerful country right now. I see the same support with respect to sanctions from the United Kingdom,” Zelensky said.
