EU Foreign Policy Chief Discusses Syria Sanctions

Global news today: The European Union is planning to discuss the issue of easing economic sanctions regarding Syria at the upcoming meeting of foreign ministers next week. The EU Foreign Affairs Minister Kay Callas expressed hope for achieving a political agreement on this issue.

Some European capitals are striving to quickly lift economic sanctions as a sign of support. Following the completion of Bashar al-Assad's presidency as a result of the armed struggle against factions under the leadership of "Hayat Tahrir ash-Sham," recognized by the UN as a terrorist group, European officials have begun to reconsider their approach to the situation in Syria.

The meeting of foreign ministers of the Eurasian countries, scheduled for January 27 in Brussels, will be devoted to discussing the situation in Syria. As emphasized by Kay Callas, Europeans are striving for a political solution to the problem and are changing their strategy in the region.
