According to the story in Reuters, “European Union foreign ministers agreed on Wednesday to prepare new sanctions on Russia and increase weapons’ deliveries to Kyiv after President Vladimir Putin ordered the country’s first wartime mobilization since World War Two to fight in Ukraine.”
“After being briefed by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, the ministers agreed to task their teams to prepare an eighth sanctions package that would target ‘more relevant sectors of the Russian economy and continue targeting people responsible for the war of aggression in Ukraine,’ the High Representative Josep Borrell said.”
