The Deal. EU ambassadors have just agreed in principle on the 13th package of sanctions over Russia's aggression against Ukraine. This package is one of the broadest ever approved by the EU. It will go through a written procedure and will be officially approved on February 24
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reacted to this.
"I welcome the agreement on our 13th sanctions package against Russia. We must continue to drive the degradation of Putin's war machine. With a total of 2,000 names on the list, we are keeping the pressure on the Kremlin high. We also continue to reduce Russia's access to drones," von der Leyen wrote in X.
