Zelensky calls on Spanish companies to stop doing business with Russia

“I know that many of your companies have already stopped financing the Russian military machine through taxes. I want to thank you, your citizens, and your government. I am grateful to these companies, to your entire state and society for the principled stance on sanctions. But at the same time, I want to address some companies, such as Maxam, Porcelanosa, Sercobe, and other companies - I think you know them better than I do - to stop doing business with Russia,” President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said addressing the Cortes Generales of Spain.

As the President noted, what happened in Bucha, Borodyanka, and other Ukrainian cities are war crimes, crimes against humanity without statute of limitations.

“This is an absolutely clear basis for the Russian military and commanders to be convicted by an international court. In these conditions, how can the countries of the world freely buy Russian oil and allow Russian ships into their ports?” Zelensky said.

He noted that the most powerful sanctions must be imposed on Russia.

As reported, on February 24, Russian president Putin started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops shell and destroy key infrastructure, massively fire on residential areas of Ukrainian cities, towns, and villages using artillery, MLRS, and ballistic missiles.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced.
