The EU has been imposing sanctions on Russia since the invasion of Ukraine, aiming to weaken its economy and influence.
BRUSSELS, May 26. /TASS/. The European Union countries have begun developing a 21st package of sanctions against Russia, which is aimed at lowering the population's standard of living, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said at a press conference in Vilnius. "Actually, we are preparing right now the next package already. What is also interesting is that Russian people are increasingly feeling the economic impact of the war in their daily lives," von der Leyen said. She also noted that the EU has just approved €90 billion in funding for the Kiev regime, which is supposedly intended to help Ukraine "negotiate from a position of strength."
