Russia is not winning this war.
And Ukraine is now stronger on the battlefield.
Today, with EU leaders, we will discuss how to further increase pressure on the Kremlin and push it towards negotiations.
The swift adoption of our 21st package of sanctions will be an important step in that direction.

From brutal occupation to brazen recruitment: Russia turns Bucha residents against their own
Four years after the Ukrainian town experienced some of the war’s worst atrocities, a 21-year-old planted bombs outside his own apartment building
On a recent evening in March, Bohdan Tymchenko, a quiet and unassuming man from Bucha, logged on to his computer to play the popular video game World of Tanks. Less than two weeks later, he planted two bombs outside his flat.
