Pressure must be applied to an aggressor that shares information about attacks on American and British bases in the Middle East, and lifting sanctions on Russia does not constitute pressure, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

"By lifting sanctions on an aggressor that is earning money every day and transmitting relevant information about attacks on American, Middle Eastern, British bases, and so on, who is helping whom? Pressure must be applied to the aggressor. Lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure. Frankly speaking, this looks strange," Zelenskyy said in response to a question from an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent on Saturday.
