The Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS) urged stronger pressure on Russia to weaken its ability to continue the war against Ukraine.
This was stated in a joint declaration by foreign ministers following the CBSS meeting on Friday, May 29, in the Polish city of Sopot, Ukrinform reports, citing Poland's Foreign Ministry.
"There is a need for increased pressure on Russia to weaken its capacity to continue its illegal war of aggression, including through an effective sanctions process, stricter enforcement of existing measures and the introduction of potential new instruments, such as a full maritime services ban on Russian energy exports, based on full coordination and consideration of discussions within the G7 and the Price Cap Coalition," the declaration states.
It notes that Russia, supported by Belarus, and those responsible must be held accountable for crimes and provide full compensation for the damage caused to Ukraine.
