Finland Ready To Impose New Sanctions On Moscow Due To Its Attacks On Ukraine

 Finland is ready for new sanctions against Russia in connection with its ongoing attacks on Ukraine's critical infrastructure, Finnish Minister for European Affairs and Ownership Steering Tytti Tuppurainen said on Thursday.

"The European Council should send a strong signal that it condemns Russia's absolutely outrageous missile attacks on civilian targets, wants to hold Russia accountable for war crimes, and supports Ukraine. In my speech, I stressed the need to send a clear signal that the European Union is ready for further sanctions. Finland is even ready for new tough sanctions," Tuppurainen told Finnish broadcaster MTV3 following a meeting on preparations for the EU summit in Brussels.

Tuppurainen added that all EU countries should also adhere to a single visa policy for Russian tourists.
