Kuleba, Baerbock agree to close loopholes to not let Russia evade sanctions

Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba and his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock have coordinated steps to close all loopholes to prevent Russia from evading western sanctions.

That’s according to Kuleba’s tweet, Ukrinform reports.

"Call with my German counterpart Annalena Baerbock. Grateful to Germany for supporting the new round of stiff EU sanctions. Pressure must keep mounting until Moscow ceases aggression and withdraws from Ukraine. We also coordinated steps to close all loopholes for evading sanctions," said the head of Ukrainian diplomacy.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the European Union on Tuesday unveiled a new, fourth, package of sanctions, which further tightens restrictive measures against Russian individuals and entities, involved in the Russian government’s criminal activities and the war against Ukraine.
