The skies of the EU may be closed to any aircraft related to Russia, said the head of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen.
“We are closing airspace for Russians,” RIA Novosti quotes the head of the European Commission. “We are proposing a ban on all Russian-owned, Russian-registered, and Russian-controlled aircraft. These aircraft will not be able to land, take off or fly over the territory of the European Union. This will apply to any aircraft – owned, chartered or otherwise under the control of a Russian entity or individual.”
Also, the head of the EC proposed to ban all transactions with the Central Bank and freeze its assets in the EU. In addition, important Russian banks will be disconnected from the SWIFT system. In addition, according to von der Leyen, the “Kremlin media machine” will be banned in the European Union. The head of the EC clarified that we are talking about RT, Sputnik and their subsidiaries. She called this step unprecedented.
As EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said at a press conference, today the foreign ministers of the EU countries will give “political approval to the package of measures described by President Leyen.” “This will pave the way for the rapid adoption of all necessary acts,” he added.
In addition, the European Union decided for the first time to finance the purchase and supply of weapons to Ukraine.
