Sanctions & Visa restrictions will make Russia ‘feel the price of war’: Zelenskyy
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asserted that imposing sanctions against Russia and visa restrictions on the Russian nationals will make Moscow “feel the price of war,” according to the statement released on Ukraine President’s website.
Addressing the participants of the Ambrosetti Forum on 2 September, Zelenskyy underscored that the sanctions and visa restrictions on Russia will contribute in strengthening Ukraine’s position and achieving peace. He stated that the countries had earlier helped “as much as possible” but the help has now witnessed the “hummingbird effect.”
Zelenskyy noted that the sanctions imposed against Russia “advance more slowly” and stressed that the next package of restrictions are “weaker,” according to the statement. He said that Russian tourists continue to travel and enjoy holidays in Italy, France and Spain and support Russia’s offensive against Ukraine.
He asserted that Russian society needs to “feel the cost of war” and it will then impact the political leadership in Moscow. He called on the international community to not support Russia’s economy and leave the Russian market. He stated that Russia does not follow international law and accused them of capturing territories of other nations.
“Earlier the states helped as much as possible, but today this help has faced the hummingbird effect. We are standing still, the sanctions advance more slowly, the next packages are weaker. Russian tourists go on a vacation in Italy, France, Spain, and then support the Russian invasion,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
