Sveredenko indicated that Ukraine appreciates the pressure of US sanctions on Russia because it is working to support the Ukrainian side during the talks about Donbas in the Minsk site in the Normandy formula.
According to her, the United States, Ukraine, and the European Union should coordinate their approach to defending democracy and freedom and opposing the authoritarian Russian regime.
“It would be very good for the United States to consider additional comprehensive sanctions on Russia before the end of the war in Ukraine … they should remain until the return of eastern Ukraine and the Crimea peninsula completely under Ukraine’s control,” she said.
She added that these sanctions should also include Nord Stream 2 as an existential threat to Ukraine’s security and economy.
It is reported that the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, which is more than 1,200 km in length, is 94% built. A year ago, due to US sanctions, the construction of Nord Stream 2 was suspended, but the Russian side resumed work on its own with the approval of the German side.
