Headline: UNCAPTIONED: EU Plans Toughest-Ever Sanctions Package Against Russia
Caption: EU Plans Toughest-Ever Sanctions Package Against Russia. The European Union plans to significantly expand sanctions against Russia this autumn, according to foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. Kallas said the new measures would represent the bloc's most far-reaching sanctions package since Russia's invasion. She claimed existing EU sanctions have already deprived Russia's war machine of more than one trillion euros. The proposed package could increase the total number of sanctioned Russian entities by roughly one-third. Kallas said the EU must continue increasing pressure until Moscow agrees to end its war against Ukraine. She did not provide specific details about the targets, timing or measures included in the upcoming package. The European Union approved its latest sanctions package in July, targeting Russian banks and cryptocurrency networks. The new measures could further intensify economic pressure as the war in Ukraine continues into another year. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
