The European Union’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced yet another package of far-reaching sanctions will be proposed by the EU against Russia later this year.
“EU sanctions have already cost Russia dearly, depriving Russia’s war machine of over €1 trillion ($1.16 trillion) and for autumn I am putting forward the most far-reaching sanctions listings since the start of the war,” she told German daily newspaper Die Welt.
“Once adopted, they would immediately raise the total number of sanctioned Russian entities by a third. The pressure must keep growing until Moscow ends its war.”
Kallas did not elaborate further on timing or details of the new sanctions package. She did not say how much these sanctions cost European citizens and industry.
