Volodymyr Zelensky calls for pressure on Russia
The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, recently urged the international community to “do pressure on Russia » in order to establish the end of the occupation of the central Zaporizhia. This call comes against a backdrop of growing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, which currently controls the aforementioned energy plant, which is also the largest in Europe.
The call for international support
According to Zelensky, Russia's takeover of this strategic facility could have disastrous consequences for Ukraine, and by extension, for all of Europe. “Preventing a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe requires the intervention of the international community,” Zelensky insisted in a television interview.
Zelensky mainly calls for international support in terms of economic sanctions against Russia. He firmly believes that this could eventually force Russia to end its occupation of the Zaporizhia plant. The president insisted that it was not only Ukraine's security that was at stake, but that of all of Europe.
Russia's reaction
So far, Russia's reaction to Zelensky's call remains unknown. Relations between Ukraine and Russia have long been strained, mainly due to Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.
To conclude, Volodymyr Zelensky continues to advocate for international support to “make pressure on Russia ". The objective is to obtain the Russian withdrawal from the power plant Zaporizhia and restore security not only in Ukraine, but also across Europe.
