Today, on 10 January, in Brussels, the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said that the European Union would impose new sanctions, in particular against Belarus, in response to its role in the war waged by Russia against Ukraine, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
"And we will be coming forward with new sanctions against Belarus answering their role in this Russian war in Ukraine," the European Commission President said.
Von der Leyen assured that the EU would continue to do everything in its power to support the brave Ukrainian people.
"We will keep pressure on the Kremlin for as long as it takes with a biting sanctions regime, we will extend these sanctions to those who militarily support Russia's war such as Belarus or Iran," she explained.
In addition, the President of the European Commission assured that the EU would continue to support Ukraine in financial, economic and humanitarian terms as long as necessary.
Ukraine expects that the 10th package of EU sanctions against Russia will contain restrictions against the nuclear industry, in particular, Rosatom, as the aggressor must be punished for attacks on Ukraine's energy sector.
