“Russia is still not ready for a ceasefire and genuine peace talks. That is why it is important for the EU continue to weaken Russia’s war economy with a new sanctions package.

In addition, EU ministers will hold a discussion on the implementation of the White Paper for European Defence - Readiness 2030, and the ReArm Europe Plan.
