Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba sent letters to the top diplomats of the European Union, the Group of Seven, and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, with a specific list of sanctions against Russia that Ukraine expects will be imposed.

He stated this during a telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Today, I signed letters to all foreign ministers of the European Union, G7, and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs with a specific list of sanctions that Ukraine expects and that are needed to finally clamp down Russian economy and stop the war in Ukraine," Kuleba stressed.

The foreign minister also noted that Kyiv is making every effort to adopt the fourth package of sanctions against Russia next week.

The top diplomat added that the Ministry will work with each government to ensure that new sanctions are applied.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine and launched a large-scale invasion.

Russian troops have been killing civilians, shelling and destroying key infrastructure, and their missiles have been hitting Ukrainian households.

Ukraine has filed a lawsuit against the Russian Federation with the UN International Criminal Court in The Hague.
