Europe turns back on desperate Ukrainian plea for boycott of Russian energy
The Independent says Europe today turned its back on a desperate plea from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to boycott Russian gas and oil as the most effective means of bringing Vladimir Putin’s assault to a halt.
In a video message, Mr Zelensky said that buying energy supplies from Putin while his forces are maintaining a murderous bombardment of Ukrainian cities was the equivalent of “giving money to a terrorist”.
The US is understood to be pressuring European allies to cut off energy purchases worth hundreds of millions of pounds a day, which have so far been exempted from the sanctions excluding Russia from the Swift money transfer system.
