Russian President Vladimir Putin told a top European Union official that his bloc should place additional pressure on President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government amid the conflict in Ukraine.
“The President of Russia called on the European Union to make a real contribution to saving people’s lives, to put pressure on the Kyiv authorities and force them to respect humanitarian law,” the Kremlin said in a statement following a conversation between Putin and Charles Michel, the head of the EU’s European Council, according to state-run media.
