The head of Ukrainian diplomacy Dmytro Kouleba warned the European Union on Tuesday once morest “fatigue” in the face of the war in Ukraine, urging the adoption of a new package of sanctions once morest Moscow.
“I call on my colleagues in the EU” to “dismiss any doubt” and any “fatigue” and to “finalize as soon as possible the ninth sanctions package” which is “long overdue”, he declared during of an online press conference.
In particular, he demanded that the public nuclear operator Rosatom be sanctioned because of its role in Russia’s occupation of Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in Ukrainethe largest in Europe.
Mr. Kouleba also stressed the importance of sanctions to “curb” the Russian military industry.
“Russia’s ability to produce new missiles must be destroyed in order to prevent them from having additional resources to kill Ukrainians, destroy Ukrainian cities and the energy system,” argued.
While Moscow has been pounding the country’s energy infrastructure for weeks, plunging millions of Ukrainian homes into darkness, it has once more asked the West to increase its deliveries of weapons, in particular anti-aircraft defense systems.
