Zelenskyy: 'We warned that if sanctions are eased anywhere in Europe, others will quickly – we see it – take advantage of it. And now we can see how cash will start flowing back into Russia through the “Diesel Deal.”This “Diesel Deal” will never be enough to offset the impact of the Strait of Hormuz on global markets. But it will put more money straight into Putin’s pocket to fund this war.We need a strong 22nd EU sanctions package.And please, we need real sanctions against every company and every person involved in making Russian ballistic missiles, advanced communications systems and drones – and those involved in Russia’s financial system.'
