EU adopts new sanctions against Russia, Kallas says

  • On May 20, 2025, the European Council approved its largest sanctions package yet against Russia, targeting Moscow's shadow fleet and supporting sectors amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
  • This action followed unsuccessful diplomatic efforts, including a Monday phone call between Presidents Putin and Trump that failed to secure a ceasefire or substantial peace progress.
  • The new sanctions list adds 189 vessels, 75 new entities, and targets financial, energy, military, and drone supply chains, aiming to undercut Russia's sanctioned oil exports and war financing.
  • Officials report that since sanctions began, Russia's oil revenues decreased by about $43 billion, with over 2,400 individuals and entities already blacklisted, including key shadow fleet operators and enablers.
  • EU and UK leaders pledged to intensify pressure and tighten the oil price cap, emphasizing tougher measures if Russia persists in the war, while Ukraine remains prepared for an immediate ceasefire.
