EU plans most far-reaching sanctions package against Russia in autumn, foreign chief says

Kaja Kallas said the new package would raise the total number of sanctioned Russian entities by one third and keep pressure on Moscow.

  • Foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced plans to significantly expand sanctions against Russia in the coming months, aiming to increase pressure as the conflict continues.
  • Existing measures have already deprived Russia's war machine of over €1 trillion, Kallas told German newspaper Die Welt while outlining the "most far-reaching sanctions listings since the start of the war."
  • Once adopted, the new package will immediately increase the total number of sanctioned Russian entities by a third, though Kallas provided no specific timeline or further details.
  • Civilian deaths in Ukraine reached their highest level since the war's first months, as both sides intensified long-range drone and missile attacks while frontline fighting remains at a near standstill.
  • Kallas stated, "The pressure must keep growing until Moscow ends its war," emphasizing the EU's commitment to maintaining economic consequences despite the conflict's ongoing escalation.
