Beyond kinetic sanctions – our long-range operations – we are also working across all other sanctions tracks. Today, we coordinated with the intelligence agencies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the special services on when and from which partners we expect new sanctions packages in those areas that can limit Russia’s active military capabilities. Certain items critical to Russia’s aggression are still supplied to Russia even from G7 member states that certainly have no interest in Putin prolonging the war and increasing the scale of the strikes. All our partners should understand what depends on them and how every sanctions step contributes to bringing peace closer and saving lives.
