BRUSSELS, 27 SEPTEMBER - "Our sanctions work, GDP will collapse by 11%, a collapse greater than that produced during the collapse of the USSR".
Thus the executive director of the EU external service, Luc Pierre Devigne, during his hearing at the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Eurochamber.
"Furthermore, Russia is increasingly isolated, partners such as China and India have expressed their concerns about military intervention. We therefore believe that the path chosen by the EU works and that we must be even more resolute, this is not the time to give in" added Devigne.
