“The European Council condemns Russia’s politically motivated persecution of EU citizens. He invites the European Commission and the High Representative... to take the necessary measures to prevent third countries from executing arrest warrants issued by Russia,” TASS quoted the statement as saying.
The EU also stated that they are not afraid of Russia’s response to the expropriation of the country’s income.
The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, previously announced that the European Union is going to transfer €1 billion from Russian assets to weapons to Ukraine by July 1.
