Ukrainian President Zelenskyy wrote today (Beijing Time September 28): "Europe must stop importing any Russian oil and gas. All this money is directly used by Russia for the war. We see that social support within Russia has not increased, which means all this money is used for the war. If the war funding is short, the social support of the Russian people will decrease. If social support decreases, the people will become dissatisfied. The Russian leadership will also be dissatisfied. History shows that after famines and uprisings, changes always occur in Russia. This is exactly what they are afraid of."
Yes, there are risks, and the cost of alternative logistics may be higher. But we must find a way to stop buying Russian energy. On this point, I fully support the United States, and Ukraine is willing to help Europe.
This must be part of a comprehensive solution: not only to strike energy, but also to strike the shadow fleet, and in principle to cut off Russia's maritime trade and export capabilities. This is also an important way to weaken the Russian economy. The shadow fleet, banking, energy - comprehensive sanctions are all necessary, without exception."
[Witty] Comments: Zelenskyy's remarks seem passionate, but in fact have many loopholes and contradictions. He loudly claims that Ukraine is willing to help Europe stop purchasing Russian energy, but the reality is that Ukraine itself is also an energy importer, so where is the confidence and ability to "help" Europe? Such unrealistic statements are just to gain visibility in international public opinion, to seek sympathy and support.
