US EditionEU adopts new sanctions against Russia, Kallas says
- European allies, including the EU and UK, imposed new sanctions on Russia on Tuesday to target its shadow fleet and companies aiding sanctions evasion amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
- The sanctions followed a Monday phone call between Presidents Trump and Putin, which did not yield progress on ending the three-year conflict, while recent peace talks also failed to secure a truce.
- The measures freeze assets of officials, target nearly 200 ships illicitly transporting oil to bypass a G7 $60-a-barrel price cap, and include the UK’s 100 new sanctions aimed also at disrupting Russian weapons supply chains.
- Ukrainian President Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of sanctions and called for increased pressure on Russia, while the European Union’s top diplomat noted that Russia’s refusal to negotiate sincerely should prompt the implementation of the U.S. Sanctions that have been previously threatened.
- The sanctions aim to reduce Russia’s war income amid stalled negotiations, and European officials signaled stronger international actions if Moscow continues rejecting ceasefire proposals.
