The European Commission has proposed additional sanctions against Russia, including bans on LNG imports and transactions with Russian oil giants.

The European Commission has announced a new set of sanctions aimed at reducing Russia's revenues for financing the war in Ukraine. The measures include bans on imports of liquefied natural gas from Russia starting in 2027 and severe restrictions on oil giants like Rosneft and Gazprom Neft. Additionally, cryptocurrency traders and companies suspected of evading sanctions will also be targeted. The President of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has called for the swift approval of these measures, emphasizing the need to intensify pressure on the Kremlin to reach peace negotiations.
