“The Russians must immediately stop the nuclear threat and completely withdraw from the area of ​​this plant,” the Ukrainian leader said.

He also stressed that “the Russian port blockade in the Sea of ​​Azov has already disrupted the food market.” – But let’s remember one more aspect, the energy aspect – he continued. He pointed out that “Russia is also deliberately trying to reduce access to electricity” and “continues to use its veto right at the United Nations”.
