LVIV, Ukraine (Reuters) -Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on Monday for new international sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, proposing a boycott of Russian oil and other Russian exports and a halt of exports to Russia.

Western sanctions imposed over Russia's military assault have already isolated Russia to a degree never before experienced by such a large economy.

Zelenskiy said the economic pressure needed to be increased, calling in effect for an international trade embargo on Russia. [L2N2VA07O]

"If the invasion continues and Russia has not abandoned its plans against Ukraine, then a new sanctions package is needed ... for the sake of peace," he said in a video address, mentioning a boycott of Russian oil and oil products in particular.

"Boycott imports to Russia - if they do not adhere to civilised rules, then they should not receive goods and services from civilisation - let the war feed them," he said.

Good initiative Mr. Zelensky. Also target all russian crypto, block all russian ships, and sanction any company that does business with russia
When entertainers wander onto the wrong stage.....
Russia’s little dicktator should be hanged on livestream.
140 nations condemned Putin's invasion of Ukraine at the United Nations. Only Syria and North Korea the world's worst dictatorships sided with Russia. That should say something to the warmongers. If this fact is unavailable to you in your country, you should ask yourself why your government would keep this from you.
He's right sanction Russia into the stone ages if needed - make sure every member of the Russian political system understands with absolute certainty that they are just one country in the global scheme of things - Regime change in Russia should be the minimum to end the sanctions!
Ukrainian president is sacrificing he's people. He should step down.
You must live in a country where people do not know freedom and the right to self-determination as you clearly have no idea what the Ukrainian people are fighting for.
He should have thought about all this before.Where is his arrogance now?
Before what? Before a madman invaded his country?

When you lay your head on your pillow tonight, do me a favor. Before you fall asleep, think about what kind of person makes light of massive human suffering.
