For the moment, no independent count could be made.

The trend of the day

In line with President Emmanuel Macron's statements, the EU is "urgently" discussing new sanctions against Moscow, also demanded by Germany, after the massacres in the kyiv region, the EU's high representative said on Monday. Joseph Borrell.

The EU "condemns in the strongest terms the reported atrocities committed by Russian armed forces in several occupied Ukrainian towns, which have now been liberated", it added in a statement.

If a consensus is found during the meeting of ambassadors, it must then be validated by the capitals.

Will European leaders finally hit hard after the recent events in Ukraine?

This is all the hope for these next few days.
