It's coming up.
The European Union's new package of sanctions against Russia has been delayed, but it is promised to be unveiled by early next week.
According to Politico .
The European Commission had planned to unveil a new, 19th package of sanctions on September 16. But pressure from Donald Trump, who is demanding stronger steps from Europe in exchange for backing U.S. sanctions, has complicated the process in Brussels.
The European Commission told EU ambassadors that the sanctions package should be expected on Friday, Sept. 19, or Monday, Sept. 22. Two diplomats told Politico that some officials are hoping for an earlier publication.
Kallas' statement
EU diplomatic chief Kaja Kallas assured reporters that the package will be presented soon. "Russia is testing the West. If Putin senses weakness, he will go on the offensive because he wants to test us. Europe must respond tough," Callas said.
She emphasized the need to step up strikes against Russian banks, energy companies, cryptocurrency exchanges and the "shadow fleet." "Depriving Moscow of the means to wage war is essential to ending this conflict," Callas noted.
Energy Factor
A among Trump's demands is for NATO to abandon its dependence on Russian oil. However, this is difficult to fulfill, given the position of Turkey, which is heavily dependent on Russian energy resources and has not joined sanctions against Moscow.
In the EU itself, Hungary and Slovakia are stalling on reducing dependence on Russian supplies. Kallas did not mention a complete halt to oil imports in her statements, which Trump is seeking.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said after speaking with Trump that the sanctions package would target "crypto, banks and energy." She did not mention China in her statement.
