– It is obvious that Russia is trying to inflict pain of Ukraine, and the attacks are becoming more and more insolent. This is a clear sign that Putin is testing the world – will they accept whether they will come to terms. Therefore, it is important that the statements of leaders, countries and institutions are supplemented with strong activities – sanctions against Russia, people associated with it, high tariffs and other restrictions in trade – said Wołodymyr Zelnski in an evening speech, commenting on the reactions of world leaders after the attack.
