"My request is very simple, please stop financ[ing] Russian war; make a full embargo for the whole Russian export and that would immediately liquidate Russian possibility to attack us and make a pressure to withdraw Putin troops from Ukrainian soil," Poroshenko explained.
The former president clarified Ukraine does not need the United States to facilitate the no-fly zone they are seeking, but they do need the necessary tools, including anti-aircraft missiles and fighter jets, to do it themselves.
"The assistance and the weapons is not enough," Poroshenko said. "We are talking about the anti-aircraft missiles. We're talking about the jet fighter[s]. We're talking about the new armed personnel carrier."
