Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Thursday called on Western politicians to quickly agree
on an embargo of Russian oil, complaining that their failure to do so was
costing Ukrainians their lives.
In an early morning video address, Zelenskiy also said he
would continue to insist Russian banks be completely blocked from the
international finance system.
Russia's six-week-long invasion of Ukraine has forced over 4
million to flee, killed or injured thousands and left cities and towns
destroyed.
Zelenskiy said Moscow was making so much money from oil
exports that it did not need to take peace talks seriously and called on the
"democratic world" to shun Russian crude.
"Some politicians are still unable to decide how to
limit the flow of petrodollars and oil euros to Russia so as not to put their
own economies at risk," Zelenskiy said, predicting that an oil embargo
would nevertheless be imposed.
"The only question is how many more Ukrainian men, how
many more Ukrainian women, the Russian military will have time to kill in order
for you, certain politicians - and we know who you are - to find some
determination," he said.
Russia says it is engaged in a "special military
operation" designed to demilitarize and "denazify" Ukraine.
Ukraine and Western governments reject that as a false pretext for its
invasion.
The United States targeted Russian banks and elites with a
new round of sanctions on Wednesday. Zelenskiy said the announcement was
spectacular but not enough.
