After massive Russian attack on Ukrainian cities, Costa called on partners to strengthen Ukraine’s defense and increase pressure on Russia
The President of the European Council, António Costa, responded to Russia's massive shelling of Ukraine on the night of Sunday, September 7. He called on partners to "stay the course": to strengthen Ukraine's defenses and increase pressure on Russia through additional sanctions.
The head of the European Council wrote about this on social network X, according to Censor.NET.
"Talking about peace while intensifying bombing and targeting government buildings and residential houses – that's what 'peace' means according to Putin," Costa wrote.
He noted that Russia started this war, and Russia decided to continue it.
Against the backdrop of another massive attack by Russia on Ukraine, Costa called on partners to further strengthen Ukraine's defenses and increase pressure on Russia.
"We must stay the course: strengthen Ukraine's defenses and increase pressure on Russia through additional sanctions in close coordination with our allies and partners. My thoughts are with the victims, the wounded, and their families. The strength and resilience of the Ukrainian people continue to inspire us all," Costa added.
