“Russian attacks killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Furthermore, Russia has intensified its hybrid attacks against Europe, targeting both EU member states and NATO allies.

The suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel guarantees Moscow more revenue to finance the war. This is not the time to ease the pressure on Russia, and Europe will not do so. On Monday, EU foreign ministers intend to approve the largest package of additions to the sanctions lists against the Russian war machine since the beginning of the war." EU High Representative Kaja Kallas declared it on social media.
