The European Union foreign ministers discussed the situation in Iran, reaching an agreement on a fourth package of sanctions on 37 Iranian officials, high-level figures and organizations.

Iran PressEurope: The sanctions include units of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC).

Among the persons subject to sanctions are representatives of the government and Iranian parliament, important political and media figures, and high-ranking members of the Iranian security forces.

However, the EU foreign chief Josep Borrell said that Iran's IRGC could not be listed as a terrorist group without a court decision.

EU grants more military aid to Ukraine

European Union (EU) military assistance to Ukraine will be topped up by a further 500 million euros (543 million U.S. dollars), foreign ministers agreed in Brussels on Monday.

Training for the country's military worth 45 million euros has also been agreed, Borrell said.

"This is the seventh package of military aid for Ukraine," Borrell told a press conference after the EU foreign ministers' meeting.

This brings the total amount of military financial aid to Ukraine financed through the European Peace Facility to 3.6 billion euros. Meanwhile, the total EU support for the country is now approaching 50 billion euros, making the EU the leading provider of aid to Ukraine.

Russia has repeatedly said that the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine does not help resolve the conflict but prolongs the suffering of the Ukrainian people.
