“The EU is united in condemning Russia’s aggression, responding with powerful sanctions and providing further support to Ukraine,” wrote Michel on Twitter.
He also called Putin for an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of Russia’s military and discussed ongoing negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
