Ukrainian protesters staged a rally in front of the Brussels European Council to demand an embargo on Russian oil and gas from the European Union. This was reported by The Brussels Times.
“I am Bucha”, “I am Gostomel” – was written on the posters of the demonstrators. The protesters represented civilians killed by Russian soldiers in Bucha, Gostomel and Irpen, and satellite cities of the Ukrainian capital. After the Russians left the city, dead civilians and mass graves were found there. As with the victims of the Buchanan massacre, protesters in Brussels have their hands tied behind their backs.
“We need tighter sanctions against Russia,” said protest organizer Anna Melenchuk. The demonstration was dedicated to today's Coreper I and II meetings.
“We are grateful for the fifth package of sanctions. But they will not stop Russia. The only measure that will stop the Russian military machine is the oil and gas embargo.” She added, referring to Ursula von der Leyen's statement on additional measures against Russia.
It will be recalled that President Volodymyr Zelensky called on Belgium to inspire all other Europeans to do more for Ukraine. According to him, Belgium was one of the first to provide defense assistance to Ukraine.
