EU diplomat hopes bloc agrees with Russia sanctions
Cape Argus
|July 16, 2025
EU FOREIGN affairs chief Kaja Kallas said yesterday she hoped for agreement soon on a new round of sanctions by the bloc on Russia, including lowering a price cap on Moscow’s oil exports.
-
The fresh round of punishment over the war on Ukraine has been held up for weeks by a wrangle with Slovakia over separate plans to phase out Russian gas imports and resistance from Malta over the price cap.
“We are hoping that it’s either today or tomorrow that we adopt the 18th package of sanctions,” Kallas said ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.
“So I hope it’s today.”
