Callas is awaiting the adoption of the 20th package of EU sanctions against Russia
The European Union and its member states are continuing to work on overcoming obstacles to the adoption of a new package of sanctions against Russia. The EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, expressed hope that the 20th package of sanctions would be approved at the next European Council meeting.
Kaja Kallas, the High Representative of the European Union, made this statement to journalists in Bucha.
“Yes, we face some obstacles regarding the 20th sanctions package, as well as regarding the loan disbursement. Work to overcome them is ongoing, but unfortunately, I cannot report any good news today. We are still working on it, and we hope to reach a decision at the next European Council,” Kallas said.
Kallas and EU ministers visited Bucha, stating, “Europe’s security is being decided here.”
A double terrorist attack occurred near a residential building in Bucha this morning; police officers were injured.
The EU Council adopted a decision to impose sanctions against nine individuals involved in crimes against the civilian population in Bucha during the Russian occupation in 2022.
Police have identified 98% of those killed in Bucha and established the names of 2,500 occupiers.
