Zelensky thanked Johnson for his current visit at an "extremely tense, dangerous and difficult" time for Ukraine, APA reports citing Ukrinform.
"We need to put even more pressure on the Russian Federation. We need to put pressure through effective assistance to the people of Ukraine in defending themselves against Russia. We need to put pressure through powerful sanctions. I thank the United Kingdom for continuing these powerful sanctions and continuously increasing [sanctions] packages and for providing powerful assistance to Ukraine, strengthening our defense capabilities. Other Western democracies must follow the example of the United Kingdom. It is time to impose a full embargo on Russian energy and increase the supply of all weapons to us," Zelensky said.
