New sanctions packages for Russia, new weapon supplies for Kyiv

Josep Borrell announced that EU will prepare new sanctions against Russia and increase arms supplies to Kyiv. This came after the Russian president ordered the country’s first military mobilization since World War II to fight in Ukraine.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Putin’s announcement, which included steps to annex parts of Ukrainian territory and threaten to use nuclear weapons to defend Russia, showed Russian president’s panic and desperation.

Now 27 Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the bloc are in New York for the annual meeting of world leaders at the UN. What will be included in the new package of sanctions is still unknown.
