The European Union has decided to postpone the announcement of the new sanctions package against Russia, following requests from the US President, Donald Trump, for stricter measures.

The EU was to present a new package of sanctions against Russia, but postponed this announcement under pressure from the US, which is calling for tougher measures against countries that buy Russian oil, such as China and India. G7 officials are working on a new sanctions package, and the US threatens tariffs of up to 100% on Russian oil. Currently, the EU is facing challenges in implementing these sanctions, considering the economic dependence on Asian markets. The EU sanctions package targets Russian banks and energy companies, but imports of Russian oil have decreased significantly.
