US could hit Russia with more sanctions over Ukraine war, but also wants Europe to increase pressure
- This past week, US President Donald Trump's administration prepared additional sanctions to target Russia's economy if President Vladimir Putin delays ending the war, adding to Oct 22 measures.
- Ukrainian officials last week pitched new sanctions to the US, and Ms Halyna Yusypiuk said dismantling Russia's war machine is the most humane way to end the war.
- The Oct 22 measures targeted oil companies Lukoil and Rosneft and spiked oil prices by more than US$2, pushing major Chinese and Indian oil buyers to seek alternatives.
- One senior US official said the US wants European allies to lead further Russia sanctions while Mr Trump may delay endorsement until after October, and the US Senate is renewing bipartisan pressure.
- US officials told European counterparts they support the EU using frozen Russian assets to buy US weapons for Kyiv, approval for targeting data shifted to US European Command in Germany, and allies hope pressure on Moscow increases.
