The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, shared the information.

“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,” she emphasized.

The European Union renews its existing sanctions against Russia every six months, requiring unanimous approval from all 27 member states of the bloc.

  • Hungary has reached a compromise with the European Union that averted the threat of lifting sanctions against Russia.
