Details: "It's of utmost importance to say that all the bombardments, destruction, and everything that the terrorist state of Russia has done in Ukraine requires a tough response. And this response is sanctions," he said.

The minister stressed that there is no other way to respond quickly to this Russian terror, so it is essential to impose sanctions on all areas of the Kremlin's energy sector.

"And this applies not only to gas, not only to oil and coal, but it is also imperative to impose sanctions against the nuclear sector," said Halushchenko.

Background: Russian forces targeted civilian energy infrastructure in Donetsk, Poltava, Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts over the past 24 hours.
