Ankara: Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha on Wednesday held talks with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, discussing European support for Ukraine and measures to increase pressure on Russia. He added that their discussion focused on efforts to raise the cost of war for Russia and enhance the self-sufficiency of both Ukraine and Europe.

According to Anadolu Agency, the EU recently adopted its 16th package of sanctions against Russia, targeting key sectors of its economy and individuals involved in its war on Ukraine. The move came as the war completed its third year, with EU officials emphasizing the need to weaken Moscow's ability to continue its military campaign.
