Sanctions on Russia Are Working
- On June 12, 2025, European foreign ministers met in Rome and vowed to intensify sanctions on Russia to weaken its war effort in Ukraine.
- This escalation follows Russia's ongoing refusal to make serious commitments and comes after inconclusive peace talks held earlier in Istanbul this month.
- The ministers pledged to swiftly adopt new sanctions targeting Russia's energy and banking sectors and to counteract sanction circumvention.
- G7 countries froze $300 billion in Russian state assets after the 2022 invasion and agreed in 2024 to provide Ukraine $50 billion via bilateral loans potentially repayable with these frozen assets.
- These actions demonstrate Europe and its allies’ ongoing determination to compel Russia to halt its hostile actions and provide reparations for the damage inflicted.
