"Last week, we adopted our 15th package of sanctions. It includes measures against Russia's shadow fleet and circumvention channels. And the 16th package is already in preparation," von der Leyen said.
According to her, the EU sanctions are hurting the Russian economy. "The ruble is at its lowest level since the beginning of the war, despite large-scale countermeasures by the Russian central bank. In some sectors of the Russian economy, inflation has reached 70%. We are sending a clear message to the Kremlin: the longer the war lasts, the higher the price for the Russian economy," the European Commission President emphasized.
