It is important to maintain sanctions against Russia, thus increasing pressure on the aggressor. We expect the 18th package of sanctions to be approved already this month before the upcoming European Council meeting, emphasised Edmunds Cepurītis, Chair of the Saeima European Affairs Committee. On Friday, 20 June, the Committee members approved Latvia’s position for the European Union’s Foreign Affairs Council meeting to be held next week.
