Zelensky urges oil sanctions to be reimposed on Russia following Iran ceasefire

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he wants energy sanctions reinstated on Russia following a US-Iran ceasefire agreement that has opened the Strait of Hormuz waterway, vital to global energy supplies.

“Now a ceasefire is beginning in the Middle East and the Gulf. And I am waiting for sanctions on Russian oil to be fully reimposed, as they were before,” Zelensky says in comments released under embargo to journalists.
