Ukrainian President Backs US Government For Imposing Fresh Sanctions On 400 Russian Entities
Zelenskyy noted that energy resources should never be used as weapons as “Russia does.”
President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has appreciated the government of the United States of America over what he termed as a package aimed at 400 entities linked to the energy sector in Russia.
“I am grateful to @POTUS, his administration, and the entire American people for today’s announcement of a new sanctions package targeting over 400 entities linked to Russia’s energy sector.”
“The bipartisan support of the United States truly matters, and we feel it deeply.”
He noted that the measure would deal a huge blow to the foundation of Russia’s war machine.
“These measures deliver a significant blow to the financial foundation of Russia’s war machine by disrupting its entire supply chain: key Russian producers, insurance companies, service providers in the oil and gas industry, 184 shadow fleet tankers, logistics facilities, and third-country companies.”
“Particularly notable is the pressure on entities like Surgutneftegaz, a key financial wallet for Putin personally. Such actions send a clear message: criminals must pay for their crimes.”
“The less revenue Russia earns from oil and other energy resources, the sooner peace will be restored.”

Zelenskyy noted that energy resources should never be used as weapons as “Russia does.” “Energy resources should never be used as weapons, as Russia does. Countries that respect international law can and should ensure stable and reliable energy supplies for the entire world.” “We are deeply grateful for America’s leadership in holding Russia accountable. I am confident these steps will significantly reduce Russia’s petrodollar income and, with it, its ability to continue its aggression.” he noted. This is even as he also lauded Japan for its decision to also impose new sanctions on Russia. “I welcome Japan’s decision to impose new sanctions on Russia for its war in Ukraine, including asset freezes on 33 entities and 12 individuals, export bans on 53 entities, and 335 restricted goods — a powerful step in standing up to aggression.” “It is a significant blow to Russia’s military-industrial complex, limiting access to critical microelectronics and creating additional obstacles for the production of missiles and drones.” “By restricting Russia’s ability to manufacture tools of terror, these measures help protect Ukrainian lives and strengthen Ukraine’s defense against aggression.” “We are deeply grateful for Japan’s decisive action in supporting Ukraine.” he noted.
