Zelensky welcomes attacks on Russian sites as EU sanctions continue

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed approval for recent attacks on Russian oil and military installations, stating that Ukraine continues to apply its own sanctions. He also claimed success regarding an open letter sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin. This follows the European Commission's presentation of its 21st package of sanctions against Russia, with President Ursula von der Leyen affirming that "Our sanctions are working." Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas echoed this sentiment, asserting that "Brick by brick, we are collapsing the foundations of Russia's war economy." Meanwhile, Nordic and Baltic nations continue to advocate for Ukraine's future membership in NATO and the EU. Russian bombardments in the Kharkiv region have reportedly resulted in three fatalities and several injuries. Sources: Le Monde
