Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that despite Russian claims that the latest sanctions will not affect them, they are still a crushing blow for Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.

Quote: “And even though Russia is now signalling to the world that sanctions supposedly don’t affect its economy, everyone can see the truth: gas station lines inside Russia, bankrupt Russian regions, and Russia’s federal budget deficit. Sanctions remain one of the most painful blows for Putin, personally for him.“
