EU adopts new sanctions against Russia, Kallas says

  • On May 20, 2025, the EU and UK imposed their 17th and a new round of sanctions targeting Russia's oil shadow fleet and supporting entities amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
  • The sanctions follow a recent phone call between Presidents Putin and Trump, where Russia expressed willingness for a peace framework, but the call failed to yield a ceasefire.
  • This sanction package includes 189 vessels, 75 new listings, and targets Russian companies, tankers, financial institutions, and drone suppliers linked to Russia's war effort.
  • EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas highlighted that despite Putin's apparent show of willingness for peace, the EU plans to impose additional sanctions, maintaining pressure until Russia agrees to an unconditional ceasefire.
  • These measures have contributed to a nearly 14 percent revenue drop for Russia's oil sector in March 2025 and signal intensified Western resolve amid continued Russian military actions.
