The European Union (EU) has introduced its 10th round of sanctions once morest Russia.
The goal is to block all export and import channels used for weapon systems, including fighter and drone parts.
Implementation is envisaged when it will be exactly one year following Russia declared the order to launch military operations.
[우르줄라 폰데어라이엔 / EU 집행위원장 : 오늘, 우리는 10번째 제재 패키지로 압박을 강화하고 있습니다. 첫째, 러시아 경제에서 중요한 기술과 산업재를 박탈하기 위해 110억 유로 이상의 추가 수출 금지를 제안합니다.]
NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is focused on providing arms support to Ukraine.
First of all, they agreed to quickly deliver weapons, including main battle tanks, and decided to raise each country’s defense spending targets for the first time in 10 years to reflect the escalating security crisis.

The move to press once morest Russia is related to concerns that a major air strike is not far away.
This is because there are reports that Russia has assembled fighter jets and helicopters in the border area with Ukraine.
The appearance of Russian bombers and fighter jets is frequently spotted, and at the same time, criticism towards Western society continues, strengthening the observation that a major air strike is imminent.
[세르게이 라브로프 / 러시아 외무장관 : 미국과 그 위성국가들은 수년간의 준비 끝에 우크라이나 급진파를 무기로 사용하여 포괄적인 하이브리드 전쟁을 벌이고 있습니다.]
The combination of large-scale Western arms support for Ukraine and Russia’s preparation for a major airstrike increases the likelihood of an all-out clash.
