Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pressed President Biden during their latest call for more sanctions to further squeeze Russia, CNN reports.
“Zelensky specifically asked Biden for further efforts to cut off Russia from international trade and to continue targeting the Russian elite, as the US has continued to add more oligarchs and their families to its sanctions list. Zelensky also mentioned closing off Russia’s access to international waterways during the call.”
