European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Friday said the European Union must monitor Russian attempts to circumvent sanctions and impose stricter ones if necessary.
Speaking at a joint briefing with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, she said the European Union wanted to raise the price Russia pays for waging war on Ukraine.
Russia faces "decay" because of ever more stringent sanctions while Ukraine has a "European future", European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday during a visit to Kyiv.
"Russia will descend in economic, financial and technological decay while Ukraine is marching towards a European future," von der Leyen said at a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
