Ukraine war latest: Zelenskyy tells EU sanctions came 'a little late'

daajis.com:- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticised European Union leaders, saying that sanctions and support for Ukraine came "a little late".

"You have applied sanctions. We are grateful. These are powerful steps but it was a little late," Zelenskyy said in an address to the EU council.

"If it had been preventive, Russia would not have gone to war. At least no one knows for sure. There was a chance," he added.

He commended Germany for blocking Nord Stream 2 but again reiterated that the move could have been more timely.

The Ukrainian president also reiterated a plea to join the European Union, begging leaders not to "be late" on letting the country in.What are the latest updates on the situation?
