This winter, Russia preparing for decisive energy blow to Europeans – Zelensky
KYIV. Sept 6 (Interfax-Ukraine) – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia is preparing for a decisive energy strike against Europeans.
"One of these days Russia will try to further increase the energy pressure on Europe. The pumping of gas through Nord Stream has completely stopped. Why do they do it? Russia wants to destroy the normal life of every European – in all countries of our continent. It wants to weaken and intimidate all of Europe, every state. Where Russia cannot do it with conventional weapons, it does it with energy weapons. It is trying to strike with poverty and political chaos where it cannot yet strike with missiles," he said in a video statement on Saturday evening, September 3.
"And in order to protect ourselves from this, we all in Europe need even more unity, even more coordination, even more help to each other," he said.
"This winter, Russia is preparing for a decisive energy strike against all Europeans. And the key answers to this should be two things: first, our unity – unity in defense against a terrorist state, and the second – the strengthening of our own pressure on Russia – this is the strengthening of all levels of sanctions and limiting Russia’s oil and gas revenues," the president said.
