The European Union is introducing its 16th round of sanctions against Russia, coinciding with the third anniversary of the Ukraine invasion. This action includes a ban on Russian aluminium imports and targets the shadow fleet circumventing current restrictions on oil exports. European leaders are responding to a shift in U.S. policy under President Trump, which threatens to undermine support for Ukraine. New measures also include disconnecting Russian banks from the SWIFT payment system and banning certain Russian media, reflecting a urgent need for a coordinated European strategy amid rising tensions with Moscow.
The EU is clamping down even harder on circumvention by targeting more vessels in Putin's shadow fleet and imposing new import and export bans.
Europe is scrambling to react after Trump upended three-years of staunch US support for Kyiv by starting talks with Moscow.
