Russia is increasing the pace of adaptation to European sanctions and this must be prevented, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said during a joint press conference with the head of the European Commission Ursula von del Leyen in Kyiv on Thursday, February 2.

“Now we see that the pace of sanctions in Europe has slowed down somewhat.. The terrorist state, on the contrary, increases the pace of adaptation to sanctions. And you need to fix it. We believe that we can do it together,"

He added that one of the most important pan-European tasks of the sanctions policy against Russia is now to reduce the ability of this country to bypass the already implemented sanctions..

" The faster and better this task is carried out, the closer we will be to losing the aggression of the Russian Federation,"
