President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of manipulations and lies of a truce in the Black Sea and in the energy sector. He said this in his traditional evening address.

According to the President, Ukraine is ready to work as quickly and absolutely transparently for the end of the war. However, the Russians on the day of negotiations in Saudi Arabia began to manipulate facts about the achievement of a truce.

– already they try to distort the arrangements and In fact, to deceive both our intermediaries and the whole world. There are absolutely clear statements published by the White House. Everyone can see what is stated there. And there is something that the Kremlin is lying again: that the silence in the Black Sea depends on the question of the sanction and that the date of start of silence about energy is March 18. Moscow is always lying. And it depends on the world – on everyone who really needs peace – whether Moscow will be allowed to lie again, – Zelensky said.

He also noted that Ukraine would do everything to work and there are no blows. But the Russians need to know and need to be aware: if they strike, they will receive a strong answer.

– And the responsibility will be for them. And if the Russians then tell the fables that the blows were not on energy or civilian infrastructure, everyone will see everything. And I would like to remind you that since March 11 on the table, America’s proposal for a complete and unconditional ceasefire is everywhere, not just about the energy and in the Black Sea. It was Russia who disagreed it. It is the Russian position that delay this war. Then, when Putin did not say “yes” to the unconditional cessation of fire, there was no new sanctions against Russia. Now Moscow is demanding something there for the removal of some sanctions, although for three years he says that sanctions are allegedly not terrible and even useful. But if this arrangement does not work, if the Russians do not fulfill the conditions of today’s arrangements and try to press again on America, on Europe, to Ukraine, then the answer, I think, should be one: exactly new sanctions, exactly more pressure, – Zelensky said.

The guarantor added that the way Russia will behave in the coming days will show a lot, if not all.

– If again air anxiety, if again military activity in the Black Sea, if again Russian manipulations and threats, you will need to take new measures – against Moscow, – summarized the President.

• On March 25, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the United States has offered a new project to Ukraine with minerals and there will be no issue of nuclear power plants.
• Volodymyr Zelensky signed a law on the dismissal of persons who were in places of freedom as a result of armed aggression against Ukraine, from payment of an administrative fee for registration of a passport of a citizen of Ukraine.
