Zelenskyy thanks von der Leyen for expanding Russia sanctions list
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen discussed Ukraine’s financial stability, European Union support and sanctions against Russia in New York on September 22. Zelenskyy said they welcomed the decision to provide a 90-billion loan and that teams would work on additional financial support options.
Sanctions against Russia and Ukraine’s financial needs were discussed at a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in New York on September 22.
In a statement on his Telegram channel after the meeting, Zelenskyy thanked von der Leyen for being ready to work on adding more Russian citizens to the European Union’s sanctions list.
Zelenskyy said signals about lifting sanctions on some Russian oligarchs were wrong and would have negative consequences. Arguing that Russia was carrying out attacks against people in Ukraine, Zelenskyy said air-raid alerts were continuing in many regions during the United Nations General Assembly because of drones and ballistic missiles.
New financial support options for Ukraine to be considered
The meeting also included a detailed discussion of how Ukraine’s financial stability could be maintained this year and next year. Zelenskyy said they welcomed the European Union’s decision to provide a 90-billion loan.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine had fulfilled its obligations under the loan terms to cover as much of its budget deficit as possible, and stated that the parties had agreed to have their teams examine other financial support options.
