Video Day "Ministers should discuss this threat, confirm the continued support of Ukraine and warn the international community about the unacceptability of the situation in which Putin puts all of us," Borrel emphasized during a briefing. According to the EU Diplomacy Head, ministers will discuss further military assistance to Ukraine and future sanctions against Russia.
Politico, citing four sources among EU diplomats, writes that the European Commission will start consultation on the next package of sanctions against Russia within a few days. The new package may include a ban on importing Russian diamonds and other luxury items.
On September 21, Putin announced a partial mobilization in Russia and stated that he would support fictitious "referendums" in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, and threatened with a nuclear blow in the event of a "threat to territorial integrity" of the Russian Federation. Thereafter, the head of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoigu spoke on the air, who stated that Russia was leading a war not with Ukraine, but with a "collective event".
According to Shoigu, to replenish the enormous losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, the aggressor country has decided to mobilize 300 thousand Russians. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Putin wants to drown Ukraine in the blood of his soldiers: “He sees that his parts are simply scattered. He needs a multimillion -dollar army. Because he sees that most of those who invade us are just running away.
