The European Union extended sanctions against Russia for another 6 months
The European Union has decided to extend the sanctions regime against Russia for an additional six months. The new strategy was adopted at the EU Foreign Ministers' meeting on January 27, 2025. This information was disclosed by the EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, on the social network X.
'EU foreign ministers have just agreed to extend sanctions against Russia again. This will continue to deprive Moscow of revenues for funding its war,' Kallas wrote, emphasizing the need to hold Russia accountable for its aggressive actions.
Getting consensus was preceded by complex diplomatic negotiations, as Hungary opposed extending sanctions. However, Budapest changed its position after receiving guarantees from the EU regarding the protection of its interests in energy security.
Europe delivers: EU Foreign Ministers just agreed to extend again the sanctions on Russia. This will continue to deprive Moscow of revenues to finance its war. Russia needs to pay for the damage they are causing.
It is also known that the EU may suspend sanctions against Syria.
