EU to discuss additional sanctions against Russia and aid to Ukraine

At an informal summit to be held in Prague on October 6-7, the heads of state and government of the 27 European Union (EU) countries will discuss the strengthening of sanctions against Russia, additional military and financial assistance to Ukraine, as well as the protection of important infrastructure after the diversion of the North Stream, reported from an invitation letter by President Charles Michel to the members of the European Council.

"The war in Ukraine continues to rage. In light of these developments, we must stand united and firm in our response.

"Our solidarity with Ukraine and its people remains unwavering. We will continue to strengthen our restrictive measures to further increase pressure on Russia to end its war. At our meeting, we will discuss how to continue providing strong economic, military, political, and financial support to Ukraine for as long as it takes. We will also examine how best to protect our critical infrastructure," the letter reads.
