In his nightly video address, Ukraine President Volodymr Zelensky warned western leaders meeting in Brussels that Russia is exerting its economic might to stop Ukraine's allies from intervening in the war.
"We know that the Russians have already begun to lobby their interests. These are the interests of war. We know that they are working with some partners," Zelensky said ahead of the G7, Nato and European Union summits being held in Brussels on Thursday.
"Our firm position will be represented at these three summits," he continued.
"At these three summits we will see: Who is a friend, who is a partner, and who betrayed us for money."
Around 40% of Europe is powered by Russian gas. European leaders have been seeking alternate sources of energy as they lob sanctions on Moscow.
