EU adopts 20th sanctions package, approves Ukraine loan

The ruling Georgian Dream party has stated it is not concerned about the European Union imposing new sanctions against Georgia. Secretary General Kaha Kaladze said the party would be "uncompromising" and have a "very principled position" to protect the interests of the country and its people. His comments come as the EU has recently adopted its 20th sanctions package against Russia, signaling continued willingness to use such measures. Kaladze questioned how many times the EU should impose sanctions, framing the issue as a matter of national sovereignty.
