Ukraine calls for new EU sanctions on Russia, foreign minister says

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."
