On 23 February, the Council adopted - in view of the second year mark of the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine - a thirteenth package of restrictive measures against Putin’s regime, those who are responsible for perpetuating his illegal, unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression and those who are significantly supporting it.

Two years into Russian’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the EU is showing continued support to the country’s economy and people.

Alexandra Valkenburg, Head of the EU Delegation in Rome, participated in an international conference, framed within the project Women in Foreign Policy and Diplomacy which the Aspen Institute Italia and WIIS Italy are promoting with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
