“Russia is prolonging this war and continues to kill daily. The world may go on a weekend, but the war continues, regardless of weekends and weekdays. This cannot be ignored. Silence from America, silence from others in the world only encourages Putin. Without truly strong pressure on the Russian leadership, this brutality cannot be stopped. Sanctions will definitely help. Determination now matters — the determination of the United States, the determination of European countries, all those in the world who want peace. The world knows all the weaknesses of the Russian economy. It is possible to stop the war, but only through the necessary force of pressure on Russia. Putin must be made to think not about launching missiles, but about ending the war,” wrote Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday.
