Ukrainian protesters staged a rally in front of the European Council in Brussels to demand an embargo on Russian oil and gas from the European Union.. It is reported by The Brussels Times.

" The protesters personified civilians killed by Russian soldiers in Bucha, Gostomel and Irpen, satellite cities of the Ukrainian capital.. After the Russians left the cities, dead civilians and mass graves were found there. Like the victims of the Buchan massacre, protesters in Brussels have their hands tied behind their backs.

" The demo was dedicated to today's meetings of Coreper I and II.

" But they won't stop Russia. The only measure that will stop the Russian war machine is the oil and gas embargo." she added, referring to Ursula von der Leyen's statement about additional measures against Russia.

Recall that President Volodymyr Zelensky called on Belgium to inspire all other Europeans to do more for Ukraine.. According to him, Belgium was one of the first countries to provide defense assistance to Ukraine..
