US and EU Plan to Discuss New Russia Sanctions: What Could Be Next for Putin?
Europe and the United States plan to intensify sanctions on Russia following its rejection of a ceasefire and increased attacks on Ukrainian cities, European Council President Costa said.
- EU sanctions envoy David O'Sullivan will lead a European delegation to the U.S. Treasury in Washington on Monday to discuss new sanctions, Antonio Costa said on Sept. 5.
- Brussels has vowed to escalate economic pressure as Moscow rejects a ceasefire and intensifies strikes; EU member states adopted an 18th sanctions package in July and prepare a 19th after the Aug. 8 deadline passed without effect.
- On Friday, U.S. and European officials held preparatory calls as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke with Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, while White House, State Department and U.S. Trade Representative officials will join Monday's meetings.
- Amid coordination, Costa said, `We are working with the U.S. and other partners to intensify our pressure through additional sanctions, both direct and secondary sanctions,` while President Donald Trump has expressed anger but not imposed new measures.
- Since the summit with Putin, Russia launched a drone and missile attack on western Ukraine last month, striking an American-owned electronics plant, while European leaders pledged a potential peacekeeping force for Ukraine, which Moscow called unacceptable and said foreign troops would be `legitimate targets`.
