Reactions to New Sanctions Against Moscow in the EU

A new package of sanctions against Russia is causing reactions within the European Union, as member states express reservations about targeting foreign ports, banks, and third countries accused of helping to circumvent restrictions on Russian oil and the supply of dual-use technologies. Italy and Spain disagree with the imposition of sanctions on a bank in Cuba, while Greece and Malta express concerns about the abolition of the price cap on Russian oil. Hungary remains firmly opposed to measures that affect its energy supply. These reactions may weaken the new sanctions package, which aims to reduce Russia's oil revenues and put pressure on Moscow to end the war in Ukraine.
