European Union High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy Kaja Kallas stated on Monday that the EU ministers did not reach an agreement on the 20th package of sanctions against Russia.
"This is a setback and message we did not want to send today, but the work continues," Kallas said. "I really regret that we didn't achieve an agreement today, considering that tomorrow is the sad anniversary of the start of this war, and we really need to send strong signals to Ukraine that we keep on helping Ukraine, but also putting more pressure on Russia so that this war would stop," she added.
The EU top diplomat also noted that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa intend to talk to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban about his country's decision to block the new package of sanctions.
