If the strong of the world had not flirted with Russia, but had really pressed to end the war."

Details: Zelensky recalled that the European Union had not reached an agreement regarding the sixth package of sanctions against Russia for a "number of weeks".

"Look at the number of weeks the world has not dared to block the Russian banking system," the President said.
