Sybyga announced a proposal for EU sanctions against another 10 Russian oligarchs
In Luxembourg, ahead of a meeting of the Council of the European Union on foreign affairs, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sych stated that Kyiv insists on increasing the pressure on Russia during the war. He called the decision to exclude two Russian oligarchs from the EU sanctions list a mistake and urged the rapid adoption of the 22-th sanctions package.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga stated that Kyiv would propose to the European Union to impose sanctions against another ten Russian oligarchs. He made this statement before the start of a meeting of the Council of the European Union on foreign affairs in Luxembourg on October 12. The minister did not specify who these individuals are.
Sybyga called the decision to exclude two Russian oligarchs from the sanctions list a mistake. According to him, sanctions will never be enough during the war, and the pressure on Russia needs to be increased, not weakened.
The minister also called on the EU to adopt the 22th package of sanctions as soon as possible. According to him, further pressure on Russia should include new sanctions, increased international isolation, and the full use of frozen Russian assets.
