Zelensky accuses EU countries of 'blackmail' tactics in negotiations over restoring Russian oil flow through Ukraine, says it would undermine sanctions on Moscow.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused European Union allies of engaging in blackmail tactics during negotiations over restoring the flow of Russian oil through Ukraine into the EU.
In a video address, Zelensky argued that allowing the resumption of Russian oil exports via Ukraine would be akin to lifting sanctions on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine. He said such a move would weaken the broader sanctions regime and undermine Ukraine's position in the war.
