EU’s Kallas says bloc to work on 19th Russia sanctions package

Investing.com -- European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced Monday that the EU will develop a 19th package of sanctions against Russia, while emphasizing that no concessions should be made to Moscow without a full ceasefire.

"As far as Russia has not agreed to full and unconditional ceasefire, we should not even discuss any concessions," Kallas said in a statement.

The EU’s top diplomat outlined a specific sequence of steps that should be followed, placing priority on Russia’s commitment to end hostilities before any negotiations begin.

"The sequencing of the steps is important. First an unconditional ceasefire with a strong monitoring system and ironclad security guarantees," she stated.

Kallas confirmed that work on the new sanctions package would proceed, though she did not provide details about what measures might be included or when the package might be implemented.
