Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during an interview with ABC News, said that “it is the right idea to put tariffs on countries that continue to make deals with Russia.”
The remarks came after the interviewer asked whether he had seen Modi, Xi, and Putin meet in China, and whether he thought Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on India could backfire.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for sanctions against Russia after it launched its largest aerial assault of the Ukraine war Saturday night.
In a series of posts on X, Zelenskyy said that the statements by state leaders and institutions must be backed by strong actions such as “sanctions against Russia and individuals connected with Russia”, which he suggested through tariffs and trade restrictions with Russia.
He said, “It is important that today we saw a broad response from our partners to this strike. Clearly, Russia is trying to inflict pain on Ukraine with even more brazen attacks. This is a clear sign that Putin is testing the world – whether they will accept or tolerate this.”
