The European Union will soon introduce the tenth package of sanctions, which, in particular, will include sanctions against Russian propagandists, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said on Thursday in Brussels at a joint press conference with Vladimir Zelensky after participation in the emergency summit.
“A just world also implies the responsibility of Russia, which must pay for the destruction caused and the blood shed.. In the coming days, we will propose the tenth package of sanctions. First, we will apply sanctions to a number of political and military leaders, but also, dear Vladimir, we heard you very carefully in Ukraine, we will persecute Putin's propagandists, because their lies are sending public space in Russia and abroad. You insisted on this, we heard you,” said the President of the European Commission.
Zelensky said at a press conference that he called on the European Union to impose sanctions against Russian manufacturers of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as IT companies cooperating with them..
" Then we can remove the source of danger. This will be a reliable defense of Ukraine and all of Europe,"
In general, Ukraine insists that the new restrictions should also include the Russian nuclear industry, which, by occupying the ZNPP, has created a threat of a radiation catastrophe in Europe..
In turn, the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, noted that the EU considers it legal to use frozen Russian assets to restore Ukraine..
He added that the EU summit participants also agreed on the need to increase sanctions pressure on the aggressor and the need to provide Ukraine with maximum military support, because the coming weeks of the war will be decisive..
