Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during an interview with ABC News, said that “it is the right idea to put tariffs on countries that continue to make deals with Russia."

The remarks came after the interviewer asked whether he had seen Modi, Xi, and Putin meet in China, and whether he thought Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on India could backfire.
