Russia must stop making "unnecessary demands" that drag out the war, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has told EU leaders at the summit today.

"Putin must stop making unnecessary demands that only prolong the war and must start fulfilling what he promises the world," Zelensky says via video call.

He urges the world to keep up the pressure on Putin because "one moment they give their word, and a few hours later it means absolutely nothing".

Zelensky also says sanctions against Moscow must stay in place "until Russia starts withdrawing from our land and fully compensates for the damage caused by its aggression".

He says "nothing has changed" as Russia continues to strike Ukraine's energy infrastructure, despite Moscow agreeing yesterday to stop such attacks.

"Yesterday evening, another Russian strike hit our energy infrastructure," he tells the summit.

"We in Ukraine face this every day and night, you know it. And despite (Russian leader Vladimir) Putin’s words about allegedly being ready to stop the attacks - nothing has changed."

As a reminder, Putin agreed to halt attacks on energy targets after a call with US President Donald Trump yesterday.
