  Zelensky said Ukraine would remain independent and the only question was at what cost.

  The report pointed out that in recent days, Zelensky's dissatisfaction with the West has increased because the European Union is slowly advancing a possible oil embargo on Russia, while the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues.

  According to reports, the EU is discussing the sixth round of sanctions against Russia, including a ban on the import of Russian oil.

The plan requires unanimous approval from all member states, but Hungary has objected, arguing that the country's economy would suffer too much.

  Reuters also said that at an extraordinary EU summit on May 30-31, there could be a split between member states that want to take a tough stance on Russia and those calling for a ceasefire.
