Europe must support Ukraine more than ever, its foreign policy chief said on Feb 24, as the bloc agreed to impose more sanctions against Russia ahead of a flurry of meetings in Brussels, Kyiv and Washington this week.

BRUSSELS -

European officials have been left flat-footed by US President Donald Trump's decisions to hold talks with Russia - spurning both Kyiv and Europe.

"We have to support Ukraine right now, more than ever," European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

The 16th package of sanctions against Russia, which the ministers agreed to on Feb 24, includes a ban on primary aluminium imports and sales of gaming consoles, as well as listing owners and operators of 74 so-called shadow fleet vessels used to evade sanctions.
