Global News published this video item, entitled “Ukraine’s Zelenskyy calls for more sanctions in Russia during address to business leaders at Davos” – below is their description.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday (May 23) told a meeting of global business leaders at Davos that the world faced a turning point and had to ratchet up sanctions against Russia as a warning to other countries considering using brute force.
His speech kicked off in earnest the four-day World Economic Forum that gathers some 2,000 business and economic leaders as well as experts, with Ukraine this year topping the agenda.
Zelenskyy urged countries to put more pressure on Moscow and accused them of not exhausting sanctions.
He demanded an oil embargo, the blockage of all Russian banks and a termination of all trade. Foreign businesses should withdraw completely from Russia, and the Russian IT industry should be cut off from the West, Zelenskyy said.
The sanctions must set a precedent, deterring any other aggressors in the decades to come, he said, adding Russia had caused its decline by its own actions.
