Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky said that Russia was heavily depending on countries like India for its economic growth, as he called for an end to the oil trade between two countries.
Zelensky’s remarks came days after US President Donald Trump signed the Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act into law, which grants him power to impose tariffs on top Russian oil buyers – India, China, Slovakia, Hungary and Azerbaijan. Zelensky hopes that the Russia sanctions bill signed into a law by Trump would help pressure Russia into ending the war. And it is obvious if these guys stop their energy trade with Russia, then it (Russia) will have to stop fighting the war. “I hope that we will end this (Russia-Ukraine war) and President Trump will help us to end this war.
In an interview with Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the President said: “Russia is basing its economy on India, sometimes Turkey and China. We need to do this as soon as possible, before winter, better before winter,” he said in a media interaction on the sidelines of the UNGA in New York.
