Denmark Pushes for Tougher Sanctions Against Russia

Denmark wants the European Union to make its next set of punishments against Russia as strong as they can be.

The Foreign Minister of Denmark, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, said this while visiting Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

Denmark currently leads the EU and wants to make sure the new sanctions stop Russia from getting around previous ones.

They also want to target the financial sector and have more countries, like the United States, working together on the sanctions.

This is all aimed at putting more pressure on Russia.
