EU Proposes New Sanctions on Russia After Moscow Dodges Prior Ones

The European Union has proposed a swath of new measures aimed at tightening sanctions against Russia, which has largely succeeded in resisting Western efforts to undermine the Kremlin’s ability to fund its war in Ukraine.  

The EU’s executive body sent a 12th package of Russia sanctions to member states late Tuesday, officials said. Diplomats say it could take several weeks for all 27 member states to adopt the measures, which include restrictions against foreign companies doing business with Russia and a ban on Russian diamond and other imports.
