Zelensky thanks US, Britain for Russian oil bans

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is thanking the leaders of the US and Britain for banning Russian oil imports.

“This is a powerful signal to the whole world,” he says in his daily address to the nation at the close of another day of war. “Either Russia will respect international law and not wage wars, or it will have no money.”

Zelensky says when he went to address the British Parliament, “the scariest figure was the 50 Ukrainian children killed in 13 days of war. But then in an hour it became 52 children. I will never forgive this. And I know that you will never forgive the occupiers.”

Zelensky calls for negotiations with Russia on ending the war. “The war must be stopped. We need to sit down at the negotiating table, but for honest, substantive talks.”
