#Ukraine presents 40-page White Paper to #EU for toughened sanctions on #Russia

Measures include seizure of Russian assets, targeting of foreign companies that use their technology to help Moscow, and sanctions on some buyers of Russian oil

Calls on EU to consider majority-rules decisionmaking over sanctions, preventing individual members --- such as Hungary, led by Vladimir Putin's long-time ally Viktor Orbán, from blocking measures

@ScottLucas

A fair point about majority-rules decisionmaking.

The veto has been outdated a very long time. Brexit demonstrated that a country can always leave. No country is or can be forced to stay against its will.

@SuneAuken @ScottLucas Yes. The EU is probably the most integrated federation in the world that still has a formal mechanism for leaving.
