The European Union should stop speaking to Ukraine in the language of sanctions and use the language of support and political dialogue, Russia’s ambassador to the EU Vladimir Chizhov said at a press conference in Brussels on Wednesday, commenting on statements by some EU officials about sanctions against Ukraine.

Earlier Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkjavicus tweeted:

"Unrolling brutal scenario in Euromaidan calls for united reaction from EU. Calls for dialogue ineffective, time for targeted sanctions," Linkjavicus posted on his Twitter account.
