Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he wants energy sanctions to be reinstated on Russia following a US-Iran ceasefire agreement that has opened the Strait of Hormuz waterway, vital to global energy supplies, AFP reports.

“Now a ceasefire is beginning in the Middle East and the Gulf. And I am waiting for sanctions on Russian oil to be fully reimposed, as they were before,” Zelensky said in comments released under embargo to journalists, including from AFP.
