Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba. File photoMOSCOW, June 8Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba called on the EU to immediately adopt the seventh package of sanctions against Russia. «We are grateful to the EU for the sixth package of sanctions, but the seventh is already needed. And urgently. Moreover, even on the way to the sixth, I received many assurances that the seventh the package will not keep you waiting … We understand that some European politicians will now begin to say that you need to «wait», «think», «study the impact of the imposed sanctions». Ukraine categorically rejects proposals to «postpone» the next sanctions,» Kuleba wrote in 
Residents of Poland were allowed to collect brushwood due to the embargo on coal from Russia, he said, he signed a letter to the EU with specific proposals for the seventh package. Among them are new personal sanctions, sectoral sanctions in the areas of energy, finance and trade, as well as ways to close all «loopholes for circumventing and evading sanctions.» «The global task for both the EU and the G7 and other leading players is to kill Russian exports,» Kuleba added. Since the end of February, the EU has introduced six packages of sanctions against Russia in connection with the situation in Ukraine. Restrictive measures apply to 1158 individuals and 98 organizations. Inclusion in the EU sanctions list means a ban on entry into the EU countries, freezing of assets on the territory of the union. Citizens and organizations in the European Union are prohibited from transferring funds to those on the list. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the policy of containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy for the West, and sanctions have dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy. According to him, the main goal of the West is to worsen the lives of millions of people. Putin also said that the United States and the European Union had effectively defaulted on their obligations to Russia, freezing its foreign exchange reserves. He added that the current events draw a line under the global dominance of the West in both politics and economics. EU is not Russia
