EU foreign affairs representative Callas announced new sanctions against Russia, targeting its defense production base. "There was support today among ministers for a truce, for an attack on energy infrastructure between Ukraine and Russia, on the condition that Moscow abides by it. But a ceasefire cannot work only if one side respects it. There is a clear understanding that now is not the time to ease the pressure on Moscow, and that is why today the ministers adopted almost 1,600 of Russia's largest industrial targets, this is Russia's largest military sanction. The list of sanctions since the war began of Russia showed a united front today in the ballistic missile production chain. The ministers also approved 77 records against the participants in the mock vote in the occupied territories of Ukraine and seven records related to cooperation with North Korea. Pressure on Moscow, not concessions, is the fastest way to end the war."
