Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin says it is necessary to talk about new sanctions against the Russian Federation, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
Klimkin stressed that his main task as the minister is to "maintain the spirit of solidarity that we have throughout all these 3.5 years of Russian aggression against Ukraine."
"The importance of imposing sanctions against the aggressor is a unique phenomenon in the history of international relations," he said at the Kyiv Transatlantic Dialogues conference in Kyiv on October 26.
He recalled how, after the war in Georgia in 2008, the European Union launched the so-called modernization partnership, and the United States of America pursued the idea of a "reset" in relations with Russia.

The minister expressed the conviction that "sanctions are certainly working." He is sure that political pressure on Russia also works.
"I am convinced that we must be able to maintain this level of international support. It is about new sanctions, new ideas on how to further strengthen this international pressure, and we are also talking about maintaining this level of solidarity," Klimkin said.
