In his nightly address, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called for tougher sanctions against Moscow after Russian forces again attacked civilian cites in Ukraine. A working group of American and Ukrainian experts proposes cutting off Russian natural gas supplies to the European Union via the Turk Stream pipeline. The expert group recommends that the Russian gas for Europe flows only via the Ukrainian gas transmission network.

The plan, published on the website of the Ukrainian President, also envisages sanctions against Rosatom’s management, Lukoil, Gazprom and other Russian energy companies.

 Moscow has seen “practically no results” from a pact with the United Nations that aimed to help Russia’s grain and fertilizer exports and blamed Western countries for creating a deadlock, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, Reuters reported. Russia has signaled that unless a list of demands is met to remove obstacles to those exports, it will not agree to extend a related deal beyond May 18 that allows the safe wartime export of grain from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports.
