European leaders fail to agree on new sanctions
June 27, Pozirk. The European Union strongly condemned the support of third countries, their actors and companies that allow Russia to continue its war of aggression against Ukraine in a statement endorsed by 26 of 27 EU leaders yesterday.
However, they failed to agree on the 18th package of sanctions against Russia, punishing it for war against Ukraine and targeting some Belarusian companies, with Hungary and Slovakia holding firm in their opposition to the proposal to cut imports of oil and gas from Russia.
Brussels denounced the continued military support to Russia by Belarus, Iran and North Korea, urging all countries “to immediately cease any direct or indirect assistance.”
The European Council also stressed the importance of “humanitarian relief efforts and confidence-building measures, notably the exchange of prisoners of war, the release of civilians and the return of all abducted Ukrainian children and other civilians unlawfully deported and transferred to Russia and Belarus.”
