The possibility of passing the eighth EU sanctions package against Russia
The German Chancellor said he expects the 18th sanctions package against Russia to be approved next week.
A few weeks ago, the European Union approved its 17th sanctions against Russia, targeting nearly five shadow fleets.
According to the Rihanosti News Agency, German Chancellor Friedrich Mortus said at a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Rosar on Wednesday evening: “I am thankful that the European Commission will offer suggestions yesterday for the eighteenth package of sanctions against Russia, and if everything will go.”
The European Commission Chairman Ursula von in Line also claimed the sanctions as “hard”, saying: “The Russian economy is bending over the EU’s past actions, and the new package of sanctions is putting more pressure on Russia.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin and officials have repeatedly referred to their country’s progress in the economy, despite Western sanctions.
