Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged international allies to enhance sanctions against Russia, arguing that the Kremlin's significant military casualties do not deter its actions. Speaking at an international security conference in Prague, he emphasized that economic pressures, especially price caps on oil, could compel Moscow to seek peace. He highlighted the increasing significance of drone warfare in Ukraine's defense efforts and stated that Ukraine stands as the 'first line of defense' against aggressive moves by Putin and his military forces. Recent sanctions proposed by the EU aim to further restrict Russian revenues from oil sales.
Zelenskyy asserted that the Russian military has suffered more than 1 million casualties since February 2022 but stated that Putin's government is not concerned about these losses.
He emphasized that strong sanctions, particularly price caps on oil, are crucial to cutting off funding for Russia's war and could potentially force peace negotiations.
