President Volodymyr ​Zelenskiy said ​on Wednesday that ‌Ukraine had ​been in contact with Britain on Wednesday, ‌sent signals on the "sensitive" issue of sanctions on Russia and hoped to discuss ‌the issue further this week.

"This ‌issue is always very sensitive... We coveyed our signals on the matter to ⁠London," ​he ⁠said in his nightly video address. "We expect that ⁠everything will be discussed this week on ​a bilateral level."

Zelenskiy did not refer ⁠directly to Britain's decision to continue to ⁠allow ​imports of diesel and jet fuel refined from Russian crude ⁠in third countries, but said sanctions from ⁠its allies ⁠were the most effective means of influencing Russia.
