This was reported by the website of the European Solidarity party.

"Every day, while Putin retains the opportunity to attack, he must know that the pressure of sanctions will increase. For example, why finance Putin by buying, even at a discount, Russian Urals oil? At least immoral. We need to impose an embargo on oil imports from Russia," - Poroshenko emphasizes.

"And why do Europeans give Putin money to buy natural gas? Every dollar for Putin will be used to kill Ukrainians. We must not allow this. We must be united. We appreciate the leadership of the United States, the leadership of President Biden, the Administration and Congress. We must not stop. This is the moment of truth," said the fifth President.

Petro Poroshenko also called for providing Ukraine with as many weapons as possible for protection and closing the airspace.

"When you help Ukraine, supply defense weapons, grenade launchers, it helps our army maintain its defense capabilities. We need fighter jets. We ask to exchange planes - give American planes to Poland, Germany, Slovakia, and give us old Soviet planes. "We need to close the airspace over our heads, over nuclear power plants, over citizens, over Ukraine. In the United States, about 70 percent of citizens support this step. In Europe, about 70 percent of citizens support it. Let's take this decisive step," Poroshenko said.

"This is not just a war against Ukraine, and everyone should understand this. This is a war against the collective West, a war against the United States, a war against NATO, a war against Europe, a war against the whole world," Petro Poroshenko said.
