President clarifies position on maritime targets
Head of State Volodymyr Zelensky publicly confirmed that Ukraine will not attack ships transporting Russian diesel fuel to the territory of the United States. He explained this by stating that these vessels have a direct connection to the American side.
Comment from the head of state
The President of Ukraine said:
«Що стосується суден, які вийшли з Росії до Америки: ці судна точно ніхто не чіпає, тому що це судна, які мають стосунок до Сполучених Штатів» (As for the ships that left Russia for America: these ships are definitely not being touched by anyone, because they are ships that have a connection to the United States), Volodymyr Zelensky noted.
Sanctions context
It is worth noting that although Ukraine is refraining from attacking these specific targets, at least one of the ships mentioned in the statement is already under European Union sanctions.
