EU to hit Russia with a new round of sanctions—and will not consider lifting them until Russian forces withdraw from Ukraine

Quick Summary:

Barrot said that the EU plans to back the latest U.S.sanctions with a 17th package of its own, aiming to coordinate with American efforts, following a commitment made to Senator Lindsey Graham.

Ukraine hopes the deal will eventually pave the way for security guarantees from the United States, as it seeks to safeguard against future Russian attacks.

"We Europeans will accompany this American (sanctions) initiative with a 17th package of sanctions and I committed yesterday to (US Senator) Lindsey Graham that we would try to coordinate both the substance and the timing of these two packages of sanctions," Barrot told AFP in an interview.
