Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the EU on Monday to end internal"quarrels" saying they only helped Moscow and asked the bloc to adopt more sanctions against Russia.
The European Union has rolled out five packages of sanctions since Russia invaded Ukraine more than three months ago, demonstrating uncharacteristic speed and unity given the complexity of the measures. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who proposed the latest package of sanctions at the start of May, agreed: "We're not there yet."
"It is time for you to be not separate, not fragments, but one whole," he said, calling for a new set of sanctions against Russia, including a ban on Russian oil.Mr Zelenskyy said "greater unity" in the bloc was the only effective way to counter Russia, stressing Kyiv has shown how important unity can be while battling the Russian invasion.
