Zelenskyy accused Russia of starting a gas war against Europe after Russia said it would restrict gas supplies.
Zelenskyy said that Russia was making it difficult for Europeans to prepare for winter.
This is an overt gas war that Russia is fighting against a united Europe. They don't care what happens to the people because they don't care about how they will suffer. Or from something else. These are not the same form of terror.
Russia's state-owned energy company said it would reduce its supplies to Europe from Wednesday.
It said that it would cut natural gas flows to 20% of capacity, having already slashed shipments to 40% of its normal capacity. The price of natural-gas went up after the threat.
European leaders said Russia was using energy supplies as a political weapon, but the company blamed European sanctions.
Zelenskyy said that the gas blackmail of Europe is needed by a terrorist state to make life worse for Europeans.
He said that European countries should hit back with more sanctions to limit Russia's revenues from gas and oil.
The Associated Press reported that German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said that Russian President Vladimir Putin was trying to drive a wedge into our society.
He causes uncertainty and causes prices to go up. We are working together to counter this.
Germany's flow of energy was aided by Canada's return of a turbine that had been sent to Germany for repairs.
Zelenskyy called Canada's decision to waive its own sanctions unacceptable on Monday.
