The European Union is preparing its largest-ever package of sanctions against Russia, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said in an interview with Die Welt, UNN reports.
This autumn, I will present the largest sanctions list since the beginning of the war. If adopted, the number of Russian individuals, companies and organizations under sanctions will immediately increase by one-third. The pressure must be intensified until Russia ends the war
The EU foreign policy chief also commented on U.S. sanctions, saying that "the adoption of the bill on sanctions against Russia initiated in the Senate by Graham gives hope that Europe and the United States will move closer on this issue."
At the same time, she emphasized that "Russia has already paid a high price for the EU sanctions; they have cost Russia's war machine more than one trillion euros."
