BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union has agreed to position Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on its list of sanctioned people following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, EU international coverage chief Josep Borrell mentioned on Friday.
“Let me flag that the one leaders on this planet which might be sanctioned by the European Union are Assad from Syria, Lukashenko from Belarus and now Putin from Russia,” Borrell informed a information convention after a gathering of EU international ministers to settle particulars of the bloc’s sanctions.
