EU’s Chief Diplomat: “This Is Not the Time to Ease Pressure on Russia, and Europe Won’t”

Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, said Europe would not ease pressure on Russia after US President Donald Trump announced a deal allowing Russian diesel to reach global markets. “Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war,” she wrote. Kallas also cited Russian strikes that killed more than 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days and increased hybrid attacks against Europe. She said EU foreign ministers planned to approve a major new set of sanctions targeting Russia’s war effort on Monday
