Kiev (dpa-AfX)-In his conversation with US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj confirmed his demand for sharper sanctions against Russia. This was announced by Selenskyj in social networks. “There must be stronger sanctions if there is no three -sided meeting or Russia refuses to end the war fair,” said the Ukrainian head of state. Sanctions are an effective instrument.
After the Alaska summit by Trump and Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin, Selenskyj strives for a three-day meeting to speak against his country about an end to the Russian War. From the Kremlin it was said that nothing had been discussed so far.
Selenskyj also called for “reliable and long -term security guarantees” for Ukraine with the participation of Europe and the United States. He insisted that Kiev would also be involved in the negotiations relating to Ukraine. This applies especially to territorial questions.
Russia is currently controlling almost a fifth of the Ukrainian state area, including the Black Sea Peninsula Crimean already annexed in 2014. In Alaska, Putin and Trump spoke without Ukrainian representatives about the country attacked by Russia almost three and a half years ago.
This Monday, Selenskyj is expected to talk to the head of the White House in Washington./ast/dp/nas
