Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for the reimposition of sanctions on Russian oil following the Iran ceasefire, warning that easing restrictions allowed Moscow to profit from rising global energy prices. He questioned whether sanctions lifted during the Middle East conflict would now be restored, suggesting the move exposed underlying political motives. Zelenskyy argued that higher oil revenues have strengthened Russia’s war efforts in Ukraine and delayed peace talks. He urged increased international pressure on Moscow, stressing that restoring sanctions is essential to push Russia back toward negotiations and limit its economic advantage. (PC: AP)
