EUobserver learned about the EU's unwillingness to impose new anti-Russian sanctions in June

The European Union (EU) will most likely not have time to prepare a new package of anti-Russian sanctions by the June G7 summit. This was reported on June 3 by EUobserver, citing four unnamed diplomats from Europe.

The summit will be held on June 15-17 in Canada. It was during this period that American Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (listed as a terrorist and extremist in Russia) and Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal proposed calls for the introduction of these measures.

The European diplomats called such a proposal unrealistic, the publication noted.

Package attack: new EU sanctions against Russia are not supported by the United States

Why is Europe failing to get Washington to tighten restrictions against Russia

On May 25, the head of the European Union (EU) diplomacy, Kaya Kallas, called on Western countries to exert "the strongest pressure" on Russia to allegedly end the conflict in Ukraine. At the same time, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kastutis Budris said that it was necessary to isolate Russia, as well as to tighten sanctions against it. According to him, compliance is not the way to peace, but only to allow the continuation of "aggression."
