European Council condemns Russia for Aleppo without mentioning possible sanctions

The EU countries strongly condemn the Syrian regime and its allies, primarily the Russian Federation, for attacks on the civilian population in Aleppo, the statement said after the summit of the European Union.

The summit participants called for "stopping the atrocities" and taking urgent measures to ensure humanitarian access to Aleppo, as well as to return to a political settlement of the situation under the auspices of the UN.

"Persons responsible for the violation of international humanitarian law and human rights should be brought to justice," - quotes the statement Lenta.ru report.

The document emphasizes that the EU is “considering all possible options” in case of “continuing the current atrocities”.

It is also noted that the Council "held a strategic discussion on policy issues in relations with Russia."

The publication notes that the initial draft statement contained a reference to the possibility of imposing additional sanctions against the Russian Federation.

“In this regard, the EU is considering any options for action, including restrictive measures against individuals and organizations, if the violence does not stop,” the original version stated.

According to Angela Merkel, the EU will think about sanctions if the intensity of strikes on Aleppo continues. “I think that only if the current intensity of the air strikes continues, it will be a reason to reflect on what we are to do,” she said.

In turn, the chairman of the European Council, Donald Tusk, said that the EU does not intend to increase tensions with Moscow, but “responds to its actions and is ready for dialogue. “Taking into account all the examples, it is clear that Russia's strategy is to weaken the EU,” he added.

When will the EU condemn Russia for World War II?
Will they be in time before the elections in the SGA?
The old woman Europe has completely lost her mind.
Sometimes a good blow with a soldier’s boot brings the mind back.

[Finches]

The EU condemned Russia for being Russia ...

The document of EU countries emphasizes
“Persons responsible for violating international humanitarian law and human rights must be held accountable”

Well, from Belgium, which bombed a completely just civilian population in the vicinity of Aleppo, and begin to call for responsibility!
What, one wonders, is the Belgian aggressor doing in a sovereign ATS? Who invited Belgium to go there at all, and by what right did she push herself there - and even bomb the territory of a SOVEREIGN state and its civilians loyal to the legitimate government of the SAR ?!

And nothing funny, quite to itself, in a year or so already in "Europe" they will begin to assert that it was not Hitler who attacked the Soviet Union, but just the opposite!

Rather they say so, Hitler was forced to take preventive measures against the USSR, since the USSR posed a real threat and was preparing to attack ..... Saturn pancake

Continuing the theme ....
Stalin began the occupation of Europe, then the USSR dropped two atomic bombs on two peaceful cities. But, voila, in Normandy an American ranger landed on the banks of Omaha and saved Europe and the whole world in one

At least the Poles and the Ukrainians have already discussed a document claiming that the culprit of the 2nd MV is the USSR together with Germany. After a few more years, Germany will not be mentioned and there will remain one culprit - the Soviet Union.

as history shows, this is not for long! It is necessary to kick constantly so that evil thoughts do not climb into the head. By the way, as always, according to the latest tradition, they do not burden themselves with any evidence.

Impotent. Dropped to the level of island states, about which few have heard.

[Wedmak]

Something I don’t understand at all already. It seems like a humanitarian pause is valid and extended for another day. Corridors were organized for the exit of residents and militants. And go out and go out. The bombing is suspended. But ... they still condemn, consider sanctions and so on. They are either completely stupid there, or from the USA they pressed them so well that they speak only on a piece of paper, not paying attention to the current situation, or do not even know what is happening in the world and draw the information from their YouTube videos.
But the nonsense is of high quality and constantly.

[ser-pov]

By any means they want to prevent us from dealing with the terrorists and are trying to bend everything under Fashington ... How long will we endure? Sanctions are already like a fetish for them ... I paid attention in the program for 60 minutes when they said that the EU is not considering sanctions against the Russian Federation on Syria - the whole hall was slammed ... We should not care about these sanctions and even pay them rhetoric is not necessary ...

[raid14]

They condemn how, where they used to be. It’s worth changing a few words in the title and you’ll get:
Countries () strongly condemn NATO and its allies, primarily the United States, for attacks on civilians in Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, said in a statement following the summit ().

The document emphasizes that the EU is “considering all possible options” in case of “continuing the current atrocities”.
And in Mosul, Fashigton bombs civilians with cookies ... And no atrocities ...

[Alexander Romanov]

And in Mosul, Fashigton biscuits bombs civilians ...

Yeah, like Basrah white phosphorus. 100% will be applied soon. But the media of the West at that moment will tactfully turn their backs and write about Russian atrocities in Aleppo

[Masya masya]

"According to Angela Merkel, the EU will think about sanctions if the intensity of strikes on Aleppo continues," the order has not yet been received ... beyond the puddle is not time for that ...

[nnm]

How the United States bombed the hospital with its visitors - it’s so simple to express regret and the question is closed, you can’t even remember about Saudis and Belgians - a trifle ... All this is purely democratic and tolerant ....

[Knowing]

Yeah ... According to evronews, the European Union has already prepared a new package of sanctions against Russia, but has not yet adopted it.
EU economists are calculating whether the EU can survive after these sanctions.

“Persons responsible for violating international humanitarian law and human rights must be held accountable”

Self-critical! So let the whole composition of their EU go to queue for the zone ... Ah! Gentlemen from the EU! And do not forget your overseas kents! They don’t have such a queue ...

[Sergey Ui]

Meanwhile, something went wrong in Iraq, they say that the bearded from Mosul did not go to Syria, but to Kirkuk . Police stations attacked and suicide bombers

Video from Kirkuk

[rotmistr60]

Summit participants called "Stop the atrocities"

How does it sound? Directly the rumor "pleases" - the EU started talking about the atrocities in Syria and, most importantly, on the part of Russia and the SAR, at the same time we do not remember the terrorists and their real atrocities at all. Maybe I'll write cynically, but obviously few Europeans died (in the opinion of EU officials) from terrorist attacks in Europe. You don't have to write about civilians in Iraq, Libya, Syria - In Europe, people start to remember them only when it is beneficial to European politicians under the leadership of the Americans.

A classic illustration on the theme "I want to and pricks".

[BOB044]

Another president in the United States will come to power. And he will say we are friends with Russia and she is doing everything right in Syria. They will immediately begin in the EU, to sing another song about Russia and to look ingratiatively into the eyes. They are two-faced in their backbone.

[Shuttle]

Pound, pound and pound barmaley again.
And let the EU think, ponder and shake.

[sabakina]

I just can’t understand, where does the European Council and the Middle East? Well, the UN Security Council would blather, otherwise Europe!
The second one. It turns out that cutting a head to a living person is not atrocity, boiling him alive in boiling water is normal ... Indeed, the Antichrist came and turned everything upside down ...

[Scalpel]

And someone here shouted that sanctions are good, but here it turns out.

[Petrovich1952]

this will already be a reason to reflect on what we should do, "she said. They themselves have done things on the tonsils and Russia is now to blame. How tired of this euro bazaar.

[mamont5]

“Given all the examples, it’s clear that Russia's strategy is to weaken the EU”

The EU is coping with this task on its own, without "help" from Russia.

The USA has turned the population of Europe into zombies. Especially European politicians.

[Vlad5307]

Russia does not need to flirt with the West - a deliberately losing option to talk with him, they only understand strength and perseverance. And the growing attacks are a reflection of the weaknesses demonstrated by the Russian Federation in relations with them, and this, apparently, is due to the pressure of our bourgeoisie, which is losing its profits from sanctions. Their belly (still not short) is more important for them than the country, and they look at the country as a cash cow, which they are ready to cut in case of something.
