Gotink said the EU should “go further” in signalling to Russian elites that the country’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is “also their problem”. He argued that they should not be allowed to continue “their lives on European islands drinking margaritas while their political leader is bombing everyday civilians in Ukraine”.
