Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha urged the European Union to maintain stringent sanctions on Russian oligarchs associated with President Vladimir Putin's administration. In a post on X, Sybiha stressed that the Kremlin's inner circle and those enabling Russian military actions must continue to face restrictions. Extending these individual sanctions for an additional 12 months, rather than the standard six, would send a strong message to the Kremlin that Europe will not bow to Russia's intimidation, which is aggressively heightening tensions.
Sybiha stressed that sanctions are only effective when they apply consistently over the long term, exerting sustained and irreversible pressure as long as Russia persists in its aggression. It is important to note that the European Union has already extended the sanctions against Russia until September 22.
