President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, in all negotiations with European leaders, stressed the need for the adoption of the seventh package of sanctions as soon as possible.

"In all negotiations, I always emphasize that the seventh package of the European Union sanctions is needed as soon as possible, " he said in his traditional video address Tuesday evening.

According to him, "Russia must feel a constant increase in pressure for the war and for its aggressive anti-European policy."

"Another Russian threat to Lithuania, another wave of energy pressure, another batch of lies from Russian officials about the food crisis are all arguments to agree on the seventh package of sanctions" he said.
