The Prime Minister of Poland called on the European Union to take immediate and decisive action towards Russia.

Germany was the main roadblock to harsher sanctions against Russia, Morawiecki said during a news conference on Monday.

Regardless of how we approach Hungary, this is the fourth such win and we have to respect democratic elections. Hungary is in favor of the sanctions.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban won his election despite being criticized for not being tough enough on Russia. Hungary was in favor of sanctions.

German Finance Minister Christian Lindner rejected calls to impose sanctions on Russian gas.

Lindner said before talks with his EU colleagues that they were dealing with a criminal war. Gas cannot be replaced in the short term. We would cause more damage to ourselves than they would.

The Associated Press reported that Morawiecki called out French and German leaders for not doing enough.

How many times have you met with Putin? What have you accomplished? Would you negotiate with Hitler, with Stalin, with Pol Pot? It is the voice of the innocent women and children.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's rule of Russia was described as a "totalitarian-fascist state" and a "genocide".

In an interview with France-Inter radio on Monday, translated by the AP, he said there was clear evidence of war crimes in Ukraine and that he was in favor of a new round of sanctions.

The West can no longer turn their eyes away from what Russia is doing in Ukraine, according to a post on Facebook.

Leadership is not cowardice or calculations. It is an uncompromising fight against evil. He wrote that it commits us to do everything we can to prevent further genocide crimes.
