The document calls for a serious study of the possibility of delivering this new type of weapons to Ukraine, as well as a substantial increase in the supply of ammunition.

The deputies also urged the European Union (EU) to approve the tenth package of sanctions against Russia, broaden its scope as well as increase the effectiveness of the existing sanctions.

The document also suggests confiscating in favor of Ukraine those Russian assets frozen by the EU and expediting Ukraine’s incorporation into the community bloc.

For his part, the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Alexander Grushkó, affirmed this Thursday that his government will take the necessary response measures and described as illegal any type of action that tries to appropriate Russian assets frozen by the Europeans.

In a recent interview with the RIA Novosti agency and the Rossia-24 television channel, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov assured that the delivery of long-range weapons to Kiev will lead Moscow to try to remove the threat from its borders. The longer the range of weapons sent to Ukraine -he said- the further they will have to be removed from the territories of our country.
