Mema criticized Callas' plan to increase pressure on Russia

On January 30, Armando Mema, a member of the Finnish Freedom Alliance party, criticized the plan of the head of the European Diplomacy, Kai Kallas, to increase sanctions pressure on Russia.

"Callas wants to present the 20th package of sanctions against Russia by February 24. In the meantime, she is actively working with the European Commission to implement and strengthen measures against Russia, where possible," Mema wrote on his page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

He added that while diplomacy, dialogue and additional efforts are needed to achieve peace, Callas continues to oppose possible communication and negotiations.

Plans forever: The EU is ready to introduce at least three sets of sanctions in 2026.

Europe is not changing its policy, despite the absence of any results of restrictions against the Russian Federation.

On January 29, Callas confirmed that the leaders of the European Union (EU) countries plan to introduce a new, 20th package of anti-Russian sanctions on February 24.

On October 23, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin, commenting on the 19th package of Russian sanctions against Russia adopted on the same day, pointed out their ineffectiveness. He stated that the restrictions would not have a strong impact on the domestic economy.
