European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
[CCTV]CNN reported that on the 17th local time, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the 10th round of sanctions against Russia is coming soon.
Von der Leyen said that this round of sanctions will focus on “plugging the loopholes in the measures already taken” and is committed to ending the evasion of EU sanctions, which will “have a significant impact” on those who evade EU sanctions.
Von der Leyen also said that Western allies need to “increase” the level of military support and equipment provided to Ukraine, saying that Ukraine needs “all the military equipment it can use, including advanced weapons systems.”
Since the Ukrainian crisis escalated, the United States and its Western allies have continued to “fire” continuously, providing military aid to Ukraine and at the same time increasing sanctions against Russia.
At present, the EU has implemented nine rounds of sanctions against Russia, involving many important fields such as energy and finance, which have greatly reduced exports to Russia. However, affected by the backlash effect, the supply situation in Europe was tense, the prices of energy and bulk commodities soared, and the import volume increased significantly. According to the analysis, the sanctions have caused losses to European companies and have also had a considerable impact on the lives of the people.
