Ukraine, in turn, proposed an international security deal that would ensure that no additional military clashes would arise in the region.
On the economic front, European Central Bank Executive Board member Philip Lane stated that the high inflation in the EU is mostly an imported supply shock and that most of it will subside in the foreseeable future.
