LIVE: EU leaders meet Zelenskyy in Kyiv for joint historic summit

EU readying 10th package of sanctions against Russia

The summit today was preceded by a meeting yesterday between EU Commissioners and the Ukrainian government.

At the end of day of meetings, the Commission chief told reporters that “by 24 February, exactly one year since the invasion started, we aim to have the tenth package of sanctions in place.”

A prospect Zelenskyy appeared to welcome, deploring that “the pace of sanctions in Europe has slowed down a bit, while the terrorist state is increasing the pace of adaptation to sanctions. It is worth catching up, and it is worth fixing it.”
