1:50Now PlayingUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that Russia had launched a "new round" of "blackmail" against Europe after cutting off gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria.
In his daily address, Zelenskyy said Moscow sees energy exports and trade as "weapons" with which to pursue its military and political aims.
"The sooner everyone in Europe acknowledges that its trade can't depend on Russia, the sooner it will be possible to guarantee the stability of European markets," Zelenskyy said.
The cutoff by Russia's state-controlled energy company came after President Vladimir Putin said “unfriendly” countries would need to start paying for gas in rubles, Russia's currency, which Bulgaria and Poland refused to do.
Zelenskyy also praised the European Commission's proposal to remove all tariffs and quotas on Ukrainian exports to the EU for a year.
