Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called today (04.09.2022) for a firm and global response to the Russian attack on the Kramatorsk train station that left at least 52 dead and 109 wounded.
“All the major powers in the world have already condemned the Russian attack on Kramatorsk. We expect a firm global response to this war crime,” he said in a video message on his Telegram channel, collected by the Unian agency.
He added that he values the announced new package of sanctions against Russia, while describing as “erroneous” the “softness” with which some in the West continue to treat the Russian state.
“We know who is constantly trying to soften the sanctions proposals. And we will do everything possible so that Europe finally understands that, in any case, really substantial and firm sanctions against Russia will have to be imposed,” he stressed.
He insisted on the need to “increase the pressure on Russia”, because the current sanctions “are not enough”, and declared that “a total energy embargo on oil and gas must be imposed”.
On the other hand, he noted that “like the mass murders in Bucha, like many other Russian war crimes, the missile attack on Kramatorsk must be one of the charges in court, which it will surely happen.”
