Zelenskyy: U.S. fuel sanctions relief gives Russia green light for war, terror

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed concern that the United States' decision to allow Russia to sell petroleum products is giving Russia a green light to continue the war and terror against Ukraine. This was evident when Russia launched a ballistic missile attack following repeated attacks on energy facilities with jet-powered shaheds.

Some of the missiles were intercepted, but it's clear that Russia's intentions are to prolong the war, terrorize ordinary people, and destroy infrastructure. Zelenskyy stated that every additional billion dollars Russia can earn from exports will be spent on weapons and equipment, upgrading shaheds, producing missiles, and recruiting more mercenaries.

He emphasized that Russia's choice is war and they will only end it when their ability to prolong the conflict diminishes. Zelenskyy called for strong signals from the United States, Europe, and other partners to restrict Russia's ability to wage war and terrorize people.
