FM Lipavský: Europe must be ready to toughen sanctions on Russia

Europe, in negotiations about Ukraine’s future, defends the principle that borders cannot be changed by military force. If Russian President Vladimir Putin comes up with further unreasonable demands, it must be ready to toughen sanctions, which have proven effective when they brought Putin to the negotiating table, says Foreign Minister and Spolu coalition candidate Jan Lipavský. He stated this in an interview for Seznam Zprávy ahead of Monday’s meeting between US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and European leaders at the White House.
