The Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal discussed Ukraine’s support in overcoming the consequences of aggression and increasing sanctions against russia during an online meeting with members of the United States Congress.
The meeting was also attended by Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov and Finance Minister Serhii Marchenko.
The Prime Minister of Ukraine stressed that russia's actions demonstrate that
the aggressor seeks to kill as many civilians as possible, cause maximum damage to infrastructure and create a humanitarian crisis in our territory."To end the war, genocide and suffering of Ukrainians, we need further support from the United States, especially with greater military assistance and increased sanctions pressure," urged Denys Shmyhal.
Apart from that, the Prime Minister thanked the United States for another recent package of sanctions against russia. At the same time, Denys Shmyhal stressed that the price russia pays for the war is not costly enough.
"We ask you to take urgent measures and introduce a complete blockade of all russian banks and financial institutions, including Gazprombank, Bank of Moscow and Rosselkhozbank. We urge you to recognize russia as a state-sponsor of terrorism, to impose sanctions on the assets of the russian government and russian state-owned enterprises in the United States, and to block russian ships and shipping companies from accessing all U.S. internal seaports," the Head of Government emphasized.
Denys Shmyhal accentuated that Ukraine needs the voice of the United States to press for a full embargo on key russian goods: oil, gas, metals, mineral resources.
"Your actions today are crucial to ending russia's war against Ukraine. The sooner you act, the more lives of innocent civilians will be saved. You have the power to do that," the Prime Minister stressed.
Separately, the Prime Minister thanked the United States for a number of decisions to provide financial support to Ukraine.
