According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, if Western countries close their borders to all citizens of the Russian Federation, this will prevent Moscow from annexing Ukrainian territories.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Zelensky explained that he considers the closure of borders to be important sanctions. “Russians should live in their own world until they change their philosophy,” he said.
The President of Ukraine is also confident that the West should send Russian citizens who are already abroad to their homeland.
“Whatever the Russians are… make them return to Russia. If they say that the world should live by their rules, then let them go and live there themselves. This is the only way to influence Putin,” Zelensky added.
