EU Looks to Impose Sanctions on Putin Simultaneously with US, Says Von Der Leyen
- On June 6, 2025, EU President Ursula von der Leyen announced that the EU is prepared to coordinate sanctions with the US to pressure Russia into peace talks.
- This announcement follows US congressional efforts led by Senator Lindsey Graham to impose 500% tariffs on countries importing sanctioned Russian energy, while the EU plans its 18th sanctions package targeting Russia's energy sector.
- The EU’s new sanctions will reduce the maximum price for Russian oil, restrict companies tied to Nord Stream pipelines, and aim to block Russian financing sources amid concerns about US tariffs affecting EU states.
- Since the beginning of 2025, the Russian ruble has appreciated by approximately 40% against the U.S. dollar, largely fueled by hopes of reduced geopolitical tensions, even as the U.S. and EU pursue different approaches to sanctions.
- This coordinated sanction strategy indicates increased EU-US cooperation to maintain pressure on Russia despite differing approaches that could complicate enforcement and geopolitical unity.
