Details: Zelenskyy said there must be no access to Europe for any Russian war criminals.

Quote: "There must be no place in the free world for Russian oil, Russian tankers, Russian banks, Russian sanctions, invasion schemes, or for any Russian war criminals. The time has come to fully ban all participants in Russian aggression from the entire Europe."

He stressed that "we all need the full range of security from Russia".

"We must continue to firmly apply the full range of protection against Russia – from strong sanctions to real support for life after Russian strikes. Each of you understands what fills Putin's wallet with money and allows him to drag out this war," the Ukrainian president told members of the European Parliament.

Background:

• On 24 February the European Parliament is holding an extraordinary session marking the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
