Crimea comments on Zelensky's call to increase sanctions against Russia
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy's call to the United States to increase sanctions against Russia is a continuation of the policy of his predecessor, Piotr Poroshenko, and Ukraine can hardly stand this direction, according to the head of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov.

On May 20, new Ukrainian President Zelensky held a meeting in Kiev with representatives of the US administration and Congress, calling for tougher sanctions against the Russian Federation.
“It seems that the new president of Ukraine has decided to follow the advice of his predecessor, which is to “continue Poroshenko’s policy”. But in this case Zelensky will end up like Poroshenko. And Ukraine probably won’t be able to endure Poroshenko-2 anymore,” Aksenov wrote on his personal Facebook page.
