US EditionEU Readying New Sanctions to Increase Pressure on Russia, Von Der Leyen Says
- The EU's 27 member states agreed on a 17th sanctions package against Russia on Wednesday, targeting nearly 200 shadow fleet tankers used for oil exports.
- The sanctions respond to Russia's long-term use of the shadow fleet to circumvent Western sanctions and avoid the $60 per barrel oil price cap since early 2022.
- The package imposes sanctions on 75 individuals and firms connected to cyberattacks, sabotage, human rights abuses, and support for Russia’s military industry.
- The head of the European Commission emphasized that the EU is tightening controls on battlefield technology and underscored the urgent need to bring the conflict to an end.
- The sanctions aim to pressure Russia to accept a ceasefire, while direct Ukraine-Russia talks may occur in Turkey, though Putin's participation remains unconfirmed.
