    Zelenskiy, in a virtual address to a World Bank forum, said the global community needed to exclude Russia immediately from international financial institutions, and urged all countries immediately to break up relations with Moscow.

    He said the Russian blockade of Black Sea ports has blocked Ukrainian exports, impacting world food safety.
