Zelenskyy stresses sanctions against Russia, von der Leyen focuses on reforms in Ukraine
During a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the need to increase sanctions pressure on Russia, while the head of the European Commission linked further budgetary support for Ukraine to the advancement of reforms in the Verkhovna Rada.
The European Union Council has extended sanctions against individuals jeopardizing Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence, now lasting until September 22, 2029. This extension, lasting 36 months instead of six months, excludes three individuals and one entity. The press service reported on Tuesday in Brussels.
The sanctions affect over 3,000 individuals and entities, imposing travel restrictions, asset freezes, and prohibiting the provision of funds or economic resources. The Council also decided not to renew the listings of those three individuals and one entity, and to remove three deceased individuals from the list. The EU's support for Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity remains unwavering.
