EU's Kaja Kallas announces a 19th sanctions package against Russia, stressing no concessions without an unconditional ceasefire.
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Monday that the EU will work on a 19th package of sanctions against Russia and warned against concessions to Moscow.
"As far as Russia has not agreed to full and unconditional ceasefire, we should not even discuss any concessions," Kallas said in a statement.
"The sequencing of the steps is important. First an unconditional ceasefire with a strong monitoring system and ironclad security guarantees," she said, adding that "we will work on a 19th package of sanctions".

Sanctions are penalties or restrictions imposed by countries or international organizations to influence the behavior of a state or entity, often in response to violations of international law or human rights.
The European Union plays a significant role in international relations by promoting peace, stability, and cooperation among its member states and with other countries through diplomacy and economic policies.
