Ursula von der Leyen: Russia ignored energy truce initiative

Accusations of ignoring the initiative

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasised that the Russian Federation had completely disregarded the proposal for an "energy truce". In her words, Moscow's decision became the cause of a new round of conflict escalation.

European Union reaction

In response to systematic attacks on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure, the European Union is preparing a new package of restrictive measures. The EU also called on the international community to increase pressure on Russia.
