He stated this in his evening video address.
According to him, during today’s massive attack, Russian troops used 165 drones and missiles of various types. The President emphasized that Russia "would not have been able to inflict such damage on its own" and highlighted that their missiles and drones contain components from Europe, China, and the USA.
"There should be no way to supply critical components for defense production to Russia. Violating sanctions must be seen as complicity in the war, and anyone who helps destroy lives must be held accountable for it," Zelensky emphasized.
He also added that it is crucial for sanctions to be "truly strong and impossible to circumvent under any circumstances."
