Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday called for nations to impose "more courageous sanctions" against Russia. He also called for countries to supply more weapons to Ukraine. Western allies have ramped up financial penalties aimed at Moscow.

The U.S. Congress voted Thursday to suspend normal trade relations with Russia and ban the importation of its oil, while the European Union approved new sanctions, including the embargo on coal imports. The Ukrainian leader also welcomed the return of Turkish, Slovenian and Lithuanian diplomats to Kyiv, calling for other countries to reopen their embassies in the capital.
