On the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, EU countries agreed another package of sanctions against Russia. The new punitive measures include additional trade restrictions. Diplomats confirmed this in Brussels on Friday after consultations with the member states.
Meanwhile, on the anniversary of the start of the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated his strict no to a meeting with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. He responded in Kiev on Friday to an action by Turkish President Recep Tayyin Erdogan, who wanted to convince Putin by telephone to start negotiations. Zelenskyj said that even before the war broke out, Erdogan had suggested bringing Putin to the negotiating table to avoid a major war.
“But he couldn’t.” Then he added, “Now we can’t.” “I believe this will be beneficial for our countries and global security,” Zelenskyy said. “It’s not just about war. The point is that we are states interested in maintaining economic relations.” China had previously called on both sides to hold talks in a position paper.
