Meanwhile, the Kremlin is having a blast
Nothing about 🇺🇦 without Ukraine.
Neither 🇺🇦Ukraine nor Europe need any frail peace deal that only whitewashes russia’s land grabs and war crimes, and incentivizes further aggression.
Peace must be just and durable.

Pertinent analysis indeed. More pressure is needed, way to go! Norway is aligned with all EU sanction packages 🇪🇺🇳🇴
Russia will only come to the table with genuine intent if it is pressured to do so.
So we are tabling our 20th package of sanctions against Russia covering energy, financial services and trade ↓
