Zelenskyy: Ukraine counts on European partners not to lift sanctions against Russia
Ukraine expects that at least its European partners will not lift sanctions, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, commenting on recent easing of sanctions against Russia and Belarus by the United States.
"Yes, this is 100% a weakening of pressure on Russia, a weakening of pressure on Belarus. Of course, we very much count on the fact that at least our European partners will not lift sanctions," he told journalists on Friday.
On March 19, U.S. Special Presidential Envoy John Cole stated in Minsk that the United States is lifting sanctions on a number of Belarusian companies and banks, including Belaruskali.
The United States of America has exempted the sale of Russia oil and oil products loaded onto vessels before March 12 from sanctions until April 11.
