BRUSSELS, 26 April 2022, (TON): The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, called on India and the countries of the Indo-Pacific region to impose sanctions against Russia, which Brussels intends to support for a long time.

She said during the international Raisina Dialogue conference “we have designed sanctions against Russia in such a way as to maintain them for a long time.”

“And we call on India and all countries of the Indo-Pacific region and the international community to support these measures in the name of a lasting peace.”

The head of the EC noted that Brussels considers the Russian special operation in Ukraine a direct threat to its security, stressing that the EU will strive with all its might for this operation to end in a strategic defeat of the Russian Federation.
