Foreign Ministers will meet in Lviv on 9 May to support Ukraine and discuss the responsibilities and sanctions against Russia.
Everyone who is for peace should be 9th May in Ukraine, not in Moscow. At the briefing before the informal meeting of EU Foreign Ministers in Warsaw, this was said by the Vice -President of the European Commission and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and the security policy Kaja Kallas.

“On that day we celebrate Europe as a peace project. That’s why we go there with various topics, such as responsibility, further support for Ukraine, and I am glad that we can do it with our partners outside the EU,” Kallas said. European Foreign Ministers are to be informal in Lviv.
Rhetoric of the past
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski Kallas added that only a small part of Russia was occupied during World War II, while Ukraine was occupied by the whole. “Millions of Ukrainians were victims of the Nazi persecution, but also fought in the Red Army. It is outrageous that Vladimir Putin applies victory over Nazi Germany only for Russia, and even worse is that he uses the rhetoric of those time to attack Ukraine,” Sikorski said.
Kallas also reported that the EU is working on a 17th package of sanctions against Russia. “If we want Russia to want peace, we must put even more pressure on it,” said the Vice -President of the European Commission, adding that the United Kingdom will share a similar view with the EU.
New sanctions
The EU is working on a 17th package of sanctions against Russia, with the aim to put more pressure on Moscow to begin to enforce a peaceful conflict resolution. The United Kingdom shares a similar view to the EU, which reflects the united attitude of European partners.
