Details
Russia shows no interest in peace. While Ukraine declared and agreed to an unconditional ceasefire more than two months ago. Therefore, there can be only one answer - we must force Russia to want peace as well. This means that we need to increase pressure on Russia, as well as strengthen Ukraine so that it can defend itself. Therefore, this week we proposed a 17th package of sanctions and hope that the EU Foreign Affairs Council will adopt it this month.
Recall
Earlier, Kallas stated that she hopes that the 17th package of sanctions against Russia will be adopted at the next EU Foreign Affairs Council.
