US EditionEU joins U.S. in heaping more sanctions on Russia to push Putin into Ukraine peace talks
The sanctions ban Russian liquefied natural gas imports and target over 550 ships, aiming to cut Moscow’s revenue fueling the Ukraine conflict, officials said.
- On Thursday the European Union imposed fresh sanctions that build on U.S. President Donald Trump’s measures, targeting Russian oil and gas and banning liquefied natural gas imports.
- Aimed at cutting off battlefield funding, the sanctions seek to choke off revenue fueling Moscow's invasion and compel Vladimir Putin to negotiate, despite no sign of war ending after nearly four years.
- Details of the package show expanded export and technology curbs targeting cryptocurrency transactions, Russian payment systems, artificial intelligence services, and raise banned ships to 557.
- Because the measures don't take effect until Nov. 21, analysts warn of a 30-day rush in oil sales, while Maria Zakharova and Russian state media dismiss the sanctions as counterproductive.
- Analysts caution the measures may not force a rapid policy shift in Moscow, as Russia’s economy remains resilient despite strains and strategic nuclear drills on Wednesday raise tensions.
