Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed his desire for the reinstatement of energy sanctions on Russia following a ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran. He emphasized that the ceasefire, which is expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for global energy supplies, should prompt a return to the strict sanctions previously imposed on Russian oil. Zelenskyy stated that he anticipates these sanctions to be fully reimposed, reflecting the urgency of maintaining pressure on Russia amidst shifting geopolitical dynamics. His comments were made public on April 10, 2026.
