"Von der Leyen then spoke about Russia, the state of its economy and the high price that Vladimir Putin is paying for his "trail of death and destruction."
🚩"The Russian military is taking chips from dishwashers and refrigerators to fix their military hardware, because there are no semiconductors anymore," she said. "Russia's industry is in tatters."
"It is the Kremlin that has put Russia’s economy on the path of oblivion," she added.
In what appeared to be a direct rebuke to critics who claim the EU's hard line against Russia will eventually collapse under the weight of the energy crisis, von der Leyen sought to dispel any doubts.
"I want to make it very clear: the sanctions are here to stay," she said. "This is time for resolve and not appeasement."
