Wrapping up his late-night address, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has urged other countries to act with courage, saying Ukrainians should not die just because someone cannot find enough courage to hand over the necessary weapons to Ukraine. ‘Fear always makes you an accomplice’, he said. ‘If someone is afraid of Russia … it makes these people responsible for the catastrophe created by Russian troops in our cities, too’. Zelenskiy was lost for words at the thought that some countries were waiting for Russia to use chemical weapons before putting an embargo on Russia oil exports. ‘Waiting for chemical weapons’, he said. ‘We, living people, have to wait?’ Doesn’t everything that the Russian military is doing and has already done deserve an oil embargo?’
