Ukrainian president Zelensky approves attacks on Russian sites as EU unveils new sanctions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has endorsed recent attacks on Russian oil and military installations, asserting that Ukraine is implementing its own sanctions. He also indicated positive outcomes from an open letter addressed to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Concurrently, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled the 21st package of sanctions against Russia, affirming that "Our sanctions are working." Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas supported this view, stating, "Brick by brick, we are collapsing the foundations of Russia's war economy." Meanwhile, Nordic and Baltic countries continue to advocate for Ukraine's future integration into NATO and the EU. Russian shelling in the Kharkiv region reportedly caused three deaths and multiple injuries. Sources: Le Monde
