OREANDA-NEWS. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called on the European Union to set specific deadlines for the complete or partial withdrawal of EU countries from Russia's gas and oil. He said this in his video address to the Lithuanian Parliament.

He also announced the need to impose sanctions against all Russian banks, do it now, and not wait for the adoption of new packages of sanctions.

The head of state noted that a number of EU countries still cannot decide when they will at least limit the purchase of Russian oil and gas.

“Hundreds of European companies and banks not only have not yet refused to work on the Russian market, but are also demonstrating blatant disrespect in response to demands to stop financing the Russian Federation,” Zelensky summed up.

On March 24, three summits were held in Brussels at once - NATO, the EU and the G7. During speeches at the summits of the G7 and the North Atlantic Alliance, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for new sanctions against Russia every week.

Later, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling on the EU to impose an embargo on the supply of gas, oil, coal and nuclear fuel from Russia by a majority of votes.
