The EU was called “speculation” reports of discussing the weakening of sanctions against the Russian Federation

On Thursday, the deputy chief spokeswoman for the European Commission said that the European Union is not going to abolish or weaken sanctions against Russia, instead preparing a new, 19th sanction package, which could be approved in September 2025.

Details: Podesta noted that the European Union does not discuss the abolition of sanctions against Russia, but on the contrary plans to increase sanction pressure on Russia.

She expressed her hope that the EU would be able to approve the 19th package of sanctions against Russia next month-that is, in September.

“We know that sanctions are working and we will maintain pressure on Russia. Everything else is pure speculation. Reality: Europe continues to maintain full pressure on Russia,” Arianna emphasized.

Two European officials and diplomats of four states working in Brussels and are aware of the processes around the introduction and compliance of EU sanctions against Russia, which the correspondent of “European Truth” spoke, also stated that discussing or abolishing sanctions is not even at the technical level.

“This issue is not on the agenda now. On the contrary, work is underway to increase sanction pressure on Russia, its economy to reduce its ability to wage the war against Ukraine. A new, 19th package of sanctions is being discussed,” one of the interlocutors of “Eurocree” confirmed.
