Russia's war[/B] on the territory of Ukraine continues for 37th day
[/P]Fierce clashes continue while the confrontation between the European Union and Moscow intensifies.
EU Economy Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni said today, Saturday 2 April, that Brussels is considering further sanctions against Vladimir Putin's country, but any additional measures will not affect the energy sector.
"The 27 member states of the Union will face a slowdown in growth because of the war in Ukraine, but not a recession," he added, noting that the 4% growth forecast is overly optimistic and the EU will not achieve it.
We will retaliate against Brussels sanctions
Yesterday (1/4) Russia's government rang a "bell" and said it would retaliate against the European Union sanctions and called on its member states to realize that a showdown with Moscow is not in their interest.
"The EU's actions will not go unanswered. The irresponsible sanctions imposed by Brussels are already negatively affecting the daily lives of ordinary Europeans," Nikolai Kobrinets, a senior Russian Foreign Ministry official, told RIA.
