EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas stated that she will propose new sanctions against russia in response to today’s attacks by the aggressor state on Ukrainian cities.
She announced this on X.
“Russia’s indiscriminate attacks on Kyiv and other regions cause civilian casualties by design, not by accident,” Kallas emphasized.
She also highlighted the strike on the Latvian Honorary Consulate in Sloviansk, which, in her words, underscores moscow’s complete disregard for international law. Kallas also stressed that Latvia has the EU’s full support.
“In response, we will summon Russia’s envoy to the EU over today's strikes and I will propose more listings aimed at Russia’s military-industrial complex,” the EU’s top diplomat said.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on the morning of July 24, the russians dropped two aerial bombs on Sloviansk. The Latvian consulate building was among the structures damaged. Five people are known to have been killed and nine wounded. Later, the enemy attacked the city a second time, injuring another 16 people.
In addition, on July 24, russian occupation forces launched ballistic missile strikes on a military training ground in the Kyiv Region, where an arms exhibition was taking place at the time. Ten people were killed and about 100 others were injured as a result of the missile strike by the aggressor country, russia, on the Kyiv Region. Emergency rescue operations have been completed at the site of the missile strike by the aggressor country, russia, on the Bucha District of the Kyiv Region, and rescuers have documented the aftermath of the attack.
