US EditionIn Albania, EU readying new sanctions to increase pressure on Russia as talks stall
- European leaders met in Tirana, Albania on May 16 to prepare a new package of sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin amid stalled Ukraine peace talks.
- The discussions followed Putin's choice to delegate mid-level officials to participate in the initial direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul on May 16, marking their first face-to-face talks in over three years.
- The new sanctions will target Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, Russian financial sectors, the shadow fleet vessels, and include lowering the oil price cap to increase pressure on Putin.
- The President of the European Commission highlighted that since peace is not desired by Putin, it is necessary to intensify pressure, calling for unity and a ceasefire before taking further measures.
- The EU, which has adopted 17 sanction packages so far, faces challenges securing unanimous support from its 27 members and requires U.S. Backing for the sanctions to be effective.
