He said this in his video message, Espreso.TV reports.

"Germans, you have power! Europe has power, more powerful than any missiles, any tanks. Without trade with you, without your companies and banks, there will be no money in Russia for the war. So let there be peace as soon as possible. And you can do it. You must defend yourself. Nobody has the right to destroy peoples and tear Europe apart", Zelensky said.

He emphasized that Ukrainians are part of Europe: "And you see our desire to be with Europe. Our desire, which we fight on the battlefield. And which you can get in the fight right in your society. By your own opinion, in a word, by pressure on politicians. For Ukraine to finally become part of the EU".

Zelensky recalled that Ukraine warned European politicians about the dangers of Nord Stream 2 and the need for sanctions in order to prevent a war from starting.  However, it has finally become clear to everyone that it is necessary to listen to Ukraine and support it, because it also depends on their life, only when "Russian missiles hit 20 kilometers from NATO borders, when Russian tanks fired directly at our nuclear power plant".

"Don't sponsor Russia's war machine. No euro for the invaders. Close all your ports to them, don't ship goods, and refuse Russian energy resources. Push Russia out of Ukraine. I believe that peace is possible, but you must act to reach peace. Everyone in Germany, everyone in Europe", Zelensky added.
