On 25 October, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the violation of international law in the Sea of Azov by Russia, Ukrainska Pravda reports.
The resolution calls on EU member states to state clearly that targeted sanctions against Russia will be strengthened in the event of a further escalation of the conflict in the Sea of Azov.
In the resolution, there is an item on the creation of the post of a special representative of the European Union for the Crimea and Donbas, which will work around the situation in the Sea of Azov.
The resolution urged the EU Council to demand from the Russian Federation immediately cease intensive and discriminatory inspections of vessels and to consider appropriate countermeasures.
