The European Union announced new measures Sunday designed to bolster Ukraine in its fight against Russia, while imposing bans on Russian aircraft and state-owned media outlets.
“For the first time ever, the European Union will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons and other equipment to a country that is under attack,” European Commission President Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen said. “This is a watershed moment.”
She went on to say that “in another unprecedented step, we will ban in the EU the Kremlin’s media machine,” citing Russia Today and Sputnik.
