The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that the EU confirmed the readiness of heavy sanctions for Russia

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, during a telephone conversation, confirmed to him the readiness of a package of "heavy sanctions" for Russia. He wrote about this Twitter.

According to the diplomat, he discussed the current security situation with Borrell.

“He confirmed that a package of heavy sanctions for Russia is already ready,” the minister said.

He also expressed gratitude to the European Union "for a tough position and readiness for decisive action."

Earlier, Borrell said that the EU has the tools to introduce "painful" restrictions for the Russian Federation, but hopes to avoid them.

He also noted that Moscow has increased its resistance to EU sanctions.

In recent months, statements have been made in the West and Ukraine in particular about Russia's allegedly impending "invasion" of Ukraine. In turn, the Kremlin has more than once directly denied any plans for an attack.
