Lifting sanctions on Russia now is a bad idea. It encourages Putin to keep fighting. Keep the economic pressure on, stand with Europe, and keep intelligence flowing to Ukraine. With Sara Sidner this morning on @cnn.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwE2...

The EU should use frozen Russian assets to fund Kyiv’s defense, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has said.

He added that doing so would counter claims from the far right and far left that Europe is footing the bill for the war.
