"Please do not sponsor the weapons of war of this country, of Russia," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on European leaders Monday to cease all trade with Russia in an effort to pressure Moscow to halt its nearly month-long military assault on his country.
"Please do not sponsor the weapons of war of this country, of Russia. No euros for the occupiers. Close all of your ports to them. Don't export them your goods. Deny energy resources. Push for Russia to leave Ukraine," Zelensky said in a video address.
Addressing Germany directly, he said: "You have the strength. Europe has the strength."
His appeal comes as several countries in the EU, including the Baltic states, have called for an embargo on Russian oil and gas imports.
