Kallas: ‘The more Moscow attacks civilians, the more sanctions must be imposed’

EU High Representative Kaja Kallas posted on X that she would propose to sanction more entities supporting Russia’s military-industrial complex in response to today’s Russian major missile attack on Kyiv, Ukraine.

According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, 18 were killed and more than 90 injured during this night attack.

“Words of condemnation alone will not stop attacks on Kyiv. Only sustained military support for Ukraine and increased pressure on Moscow can do that,” Kallas wrote on X. “The more Moscow attacks civilians, the more sanctions must be imposed. We keep raising the cost until Russia understands it cannot win.”

She also reminded that this week, the EU has started disbursing €6 billion under the €90 billion support loan to strengthen Kyiv’s defences.
