Entering emergency #FAC meeting, Czech foreign minister Jan Lipavsky says Putin's army is committing "war atrocities and war crimes on the sovereign territory of #Ukraine."

"The Czech Republic is in favor of the strongest possible #sanctions possible."

Entering #FAC, Belgian Foreign Minister @Sophie_Wilmes says "we are ready to take another sanctions package which will be a massive deterrent"

Entering #FAC, Finland's foreign minister Pekka Haavisto says "this is a very important moment."

"Finland has increased its direct support for #Ukraine, an additional €15 million to support them."

Entering #FAC, Romania's foreign minister Bogdan Aurescu says the EU needs to prepare for "the wave of refugees which is coming" as a result of the #UkraineWar.

"We should also support (non-EU) #Moldova because they already have a large number of refugees on their territory."

The foreign ministers here at the #FAC are as we speak rubber-stamping the 2nd #sanctions package agreed last night by EU prime ministers and presidents.

But they are now also talking about further sanctions - likely targeting Putin himself.
