EU moves to adopt 21st sanctions package against Russia

1 min read

European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said the EU is working to adopt a 21st sanctions package against Russia after an overnight attack that used over 400 drones and missiles against the capital. She said Ukraine urgently needs more air defence and that allies will discuss support at this week's NATO summit in Ankara. The EU provided the first €4 billion under a €90 billion loan to strengthen Ukraine's defence with advanced drone technology, with further support promised as officials work to increase pressure until the attacks stop.
