Putin, under NATO-EU pressure, after signing the joint statement on combating Russian aggression
NATO and EU countries will extend sanctions against Russia's war allies. The heads of the European institutions, Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel, as well as the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Organization, Jens Stoltenberg, signed a joint statement on combating Russian aggression and support for Ukraine. Thus, according to the document, NATO and the EU will focus on Eastern Europe. And Putin got exactly what he didn't want, Stoltenberg said.
