0:57Now PlayingUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called for nations to impose "more courageous sanctions" against Russia in a bid to try and end the war.
Speaking in his evening address, Zelenskiy said the current sanctions were "not yet the ones needed to stop Russia and stop the war".
He also called for countries to supply more weapons to Ukraine.
"Ukraine needs weapons which will allow us to win on the battlefield," he said.
"It will be the strongest sanction against Russia of all possible ones."
Western allies have ramped up financial penalties aimed at Moscow.
The U.S. Congress voted Thursday to suspend normal trade relations with Russia and ban the importation of its oil, while the European Union approved new sanctions, including the embargo on coal imports.
The U.N. General Assembly, meanwhile, voted Thursday to suspend Russia from the world organization’s leading human rights body.
In his address Zelenskiy welcomed the General Assembly's move.
He also said Russia was "collecting bodies" of people killed in Mariupol which he said then may be used to accuse Ukrainian forces of killing their own people.
He said it would be a "tit-for-tat" response to the images of killings in Bucha.
The Ukrainian leader also welcomed the return of Turkish, Slovenian and Lithuanian diplomats to Kyiv, calling for other countries to reopen their embassies in the capital.
