Latvian Prime Minister of Latvia Krišjānis Karins says the European Union must suspend all energy imports from Russia. “I’m convinced that we should make a decision to stop energy imports from Russia to get [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to the negotiating table to stop the war,” Karins said at the start of an EU leaders’ summit in Versailles. The EU must also expel all Russian banks from SWIFT, a banking payments communications system. The bloc needs to “not only isolate Putin’s economy – but cripple the economy as quickly as [it] can,” Karins said.
