The European Union is currently considering a package of tough new sanctions against Russia, including a phased oil embargo.
President Biden intends to talk to the leaders of other Group of Seven (G7) countries about potential new sanctions against Russia in connection with its military intervention in Ukraine. The White House is currently working on fixing video communications. This was announced on Thursday, May 5, by White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
He noted that the efforts and attention of the United States are aimed at continuing to emphasize unity, and also to strengthen this unity at a time when the allies are facing Russian aggression.
“We are working hard to end the call to the G7, which is likely to take place in the coming days,” he said.
He was also asked to clarify what exactly was on his mind when he reported earlier in the week about US plans to announce its support for Ukraine and Europe on the eve of May 9th. Psaki was asked if any joint activity with representatives of Ukraine and allies in Europe was contemplated that day.
“We’ll provide more details closer to the point,” Psaki replied.
The new, sixth, package of sanctions proposed by the European Commission provides for the removal of three major Russian banks – including the largest of them, Sberbank – from the international system for sending information on the interbank SWIFT, as well. as well as the refusal to import crude. from the Russian Federation for six months, and by the end of the year – refusal to import Russian oil products.
Recall that today Scholz has promised to allocate an additional 125 million euros to support Ukraine.
