European Union ambassadors are scheduled to meet Wednesday to finalize the 21st package of sanctions targeting Russia for its ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The agreement hinges on resolving concerns raised by Greece, which has been a key point of contention in recent negotiations. Diplomats indicate the aim is to reach a compromise that will allow the sanctions to move forward. This new package will add to the extensive restrictions already imposed on Russia following the February 2022 invasion. The specifics of the proposed sanctions remain undisclosed, but they are expected to further increase economic pressure on Moscow. Reaching unanimity amongst all EU member states is crucial for the sanctions to be enacted, explaining the importance of Wednesday’s discussions. The move underscores the EU's continued commitment to supporting Ukraine and deterring Russian aggression.
