Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Monday called on European Union member states to impose new sanctions on Russia, aimed at avoiding a further escalation in the standoff between the two countries.

"I proposed a step-by-step plan on how to discourage Moscow from further escalation," Kuleba tweeted after addressing EU foreign ministers via video conference. "Key element: preparing a new set of sectoral sanctions. Individual ones are not sufficient anymore."
