The European Union’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says the bloc is planning the “strongest, the harshest package” of sanctions it has ever considered at an emergency summit, as the Russian military attacks Ukraine.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says that “the target is the stability in Europe and the whole of the international peace order, and we will hold President (Vladimir) Putin accountable for that.”
“We will present a package of massive and targeted sanctions to European leaders for approval,” she says.
