Taoiseach demands sanctions on Russia over Aleppo devastation

Taoiseach Enda Kenny is among a growing number of European leaders demanding tougher sanctions on Russia.

At the European Council Summit in Brussels yesterday Mr Kenny agreed that Russia should face sanctions and said the country’s bombing of Aleppo would be the subject of “detailed discussion” at the meeting.

President of the European Council Donald Tusk said that the EU cannot rule out sanctions against Russia as it continues to bomb Syria.
