In his video address, Mr Zelensky thanked the leaders of Britain and Austria for their visits to Kyiv on Saturday and pledges of further support. Mr Zelensky repeated his call for a complete embargo on Russian oil and gas, which he called the sources of Russia’s “self-confidence and impunity”. “Freedom does not have time to wait,” Mr Zelensky said. Talks so far have not included Russian President Vladimir Putin or other top officials. In the interview with AP, Mr Zelensky noted the increased support but expressed frustration when asked if weapons and equipment Ukraine has received from the West is sufficient to shift the war’s outcome.
