EU plans 'harsh' sanctions package against Russia

The Hindu  

The European Union is planning the “strongest, the harshest package” of sanctions it has ever considered at an emergency summit on February 24, as the Russian military attacked Ukraine. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, “the target is the stability in Europe and the whole of the international peace order and we will hold President Putin accountable for that. We will present a package of massive and targeted sanctions to European leaders for approval.” EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called it the “strongest, the harshest package” ever considered. The European Union will respond in the strongest possible terms.” Von der Leyen said the “massive and targeted sanctions” she will put to EU leaders “will target strategic sectors of the Russian economy by blocking the access to technologies and markets that are key for Russia”. “Like the first package of sanctions that were imposed when Russia recognised the two breakaway eastern Ukrainian republics,” Ursula von der Leyen said all Western powers were walking in lockstep.
