President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the EU and European leaders for adopting the 21st package of sanctions against russia. The new restrictions are aimed at reducing the revenues of the russian federation, reports UNN.
I am grateful to the European Union and all European leaders for adopting the 21st package of sanctions against russia. It is very important that the pressure on russia for its war, which it started and refuses to stop, continues. And this package includes strong steps to limit russian revenues, including Ukrainian proposals that were taken into account
Zelenskyy emphasized that it is important to maintain unity and continue the sanctions pressure.
It is very important to maintain unity and continue this pressure. We expect that work on the new, 22nd package will proceed actively and that additional restrictions will be implemented, which will definitely work for peace and further limit russia's ability to sustain the war. Thank you, EU!

On July 22, the European Union gave the "green light" to the 21st package of sanctions against russia. Greece lifted its blockade after concessions regarding the transportation of russian LNG.
