Even more ‘harsh punishment’ asks for the Russia Lithuania President Gitana Naoussa by saying that the next package sanction of the EU against Moscow for the attack on Ukraine must look like a “Molotov cocktail”.
“Putin turns the whole world against him and he really deserves to take a lot more sanctions From those in force today, “Gitanas Naoussa told Lithuania state television, speaking about Russia.
“I really hope our partners in the European Union understand that the 17th sanctions package was just a warm -up,” the Lithuanian president said, adding: “We must prepare an 18th package of sanctions (their impact) Really look like a Molotov cocktail. “
Last week, the EU approved the 17th package of sanctions against Russia aimed at the new tanker ghosts of Russia’s shadow fleet, which help Moscow to bypass sanctions affecting Russian oil exports.
An 18th debate package of sanctions provides in particular sanctions against Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, European Commission President Ursula von der Laien has said. “And other sanctions against Russia preparingI. As long as Russia will continue the war, our response will be severe, “European diplomat Kaya Callas said last week.
Lithuania is one of Kiev’s most ardent supporters after the start of the Russian invasion.
Russia has launched mass air strikes against Ukraine in recent days. The attacks were widely convicted, and by US President Donald Trump, who threatened Russia with new sanctions and accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of being “completely crazy”.
Naoussa said he agrees with Trump’s appreciation. “These are heavy conversations and a perfectly appropriate statement, because this has been clear to us for a long time,” Naoussa said.
