EU Approves New Sanctions Against Russia by God1000(op): 10:57am On Feb 19, 2025
EU diplomats have imposed a fresh round of sanctions against Russia, as Brussels vows to ramp up pressure on Moscow despite US-led negotiations aimed at ending the Ukraine war.

The bloc’s 16th package of sanctions will target Russia’s aluminian industry, oil exports and individuals and companies deemed to be fuelling Russia’s war against Ukraine.

They will hit 13 more banks and 73 more “shadow fleet tankers” used by Moscow to export crude oil. A “phased-in” ban on EU countries buying certain types of Russian aluminium products will also be brought in, according to officials briefed on the package.

The package is set to be formally approved by EU foreign ministers on Monday, on the third anniversary of the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

It comes after Donald Trump appeared to place some blame for the war on Ukraine, saying that a “half-baked negotiator could have settled this years ago without the loss of much land, very little land, without the loss of any lives, and without the loss of cities that are just laying on their sides”.

I believe these sanctions are more of a message to America than Russia

EU and the trump administration are seriously at loggerheads over Ukraine and it appears the European union is telling Donald trump to get lost with his buddy Putin for excluding them from the ongoing talks in Saudi Arabia


In this life, try to be strong or other people will decide how you live your life, this is one lesson I've learnt from my village to Gaza, Ukraine and DRC

A nuclear armed Ukraine will not be ignored and ridiculed like this, today the Rocket man in north Korea with all the poverty in his country commands more respect in US than the entire EU

Facing two bullies must be very difficult for zelensky, it's a crazy world

Russia is a rogue country. They very much deserve the sanctions.
Re: EU Approves New Sanctions Against Russia by 9jvirgin(m): 1:47pm On Feb 19, 2025
Trump is about to be thrown inside the garbage bin both home and abroad. It's just like Tinubu who desperately wants power but will be completely disgraced and put to shame because they both do not understand the true meaning of power.

Then again do you know the powerful psychological tool of bad cop, good cop?

MAYBE US & EU are working together!

Russia is the most sanctioned country in the world. It has over 20,000 sanctions, way more than Iran, Syria, Venezuela, and North Korea.

Yet, our sweet Russia continues to stand high up. It is working fine and has not crippled as the US and the European Union and their bullies hoped, so a new sanctions package by the European Union is just the cry of a weakling and a signal of the end of the European Union as a voice of influence in Europe and around the world.

Everyone should take a backseat. Russians are living fine and are doing well despite being the most sanctioned country in the world. A new set of sanctions is nothing.

Funny people


Very useless sanctions.

This thing no for concern me too

But if they reverse the sanctions after Trump ends the war, they should better return Chelsea to Abramovich.

Re: EU Approves New Sanctions Against Russia by saintokwuluora(m): 1:53pm On Feb 19, 2025
Europe is struggling to bark but Putin has shown they are a toothless bulldog. Trump just confirmed it. Europe has been left behind.

All this lightweight nations and noise.

Remove Germany from Europe and you will see that they are just a bunch of parasites that need one another to continue to survive off another host.

Even France is now a shadow of its former self, make them rest. Without American support, the Eu is a collection of jokes

Small yansh dey shake. When two superpowers are talking, who is EU ?

EU is supposed to be a superpower block but they reduced themselves to vasals and slaves to America. They helped empower America and enable her do all the evils unchecked for decades. The monster they made has publicly shame them. Former presidents have restricted the shaming and disregard of EU to private but Trump is out to do it openly and they're all worked up

Let EU send troops to Ukraine and declare war against Russia officially.

Untill then, Trump is in control

EU nations bypass the sanctions discreetly. Don't let the west deceive you.
Re: EU Approves New Sanctions Against Russia by seunny4lif(m): 2:02pm On Feb 19, 2025
Sanction again
They have already threw all the sanctions, yet they are still buying Russia gas and oil directly or indirectly through India and China.
EU exports to Russia neighbours countries are over 3000%

Nothing concerns Trump and Ukraine. During Biden presidency, why didn't they come together like this to talk about peace. Instead they were supplying arms to Ukraine. Trump decided to take the peaceful path and now he is the villain. If Trump decides not to get involved have you asked what will happen next?

Re: EU Approves New Sanctions Against Russia by ogascomax: 2:04pm On Feb 19, 2025
Firstly this sanctions are just nonsense because EU are just fooling themselves. Secondly, Some of you are blinding following Europe and thinking that Russia was wrong or were the aggressor because they were the once who invaded Ukraine but forgetting that the Ukrainian invited Russia to their country. Historical it's known that Ukraine joining NATO was already sealed more than 35 years ago and NATO agreed never to accept Ukraine into their alliance. These are not stories because it's known that if Ukraine attempted to join NATO this whole thing will take place. Ukraine joining NATO is a big disaster to Russia sovereignty because now you will have USA and the rest of NATO building the biggest NATO base in Russia border where that could easily attack Russia in time of war but you dumb European supporters who do not even know the history behind NATO and how they were not supposed to have expanded the way they did over some decades now.
Russia kept warning the alliance and not only Russia including some generals in US and Europe saying this will be destruction of Ukraine but USA and Europe deceived Zelenskey to enter the war that they will defend his country. It was all lies.

Afterwards they go through the back door to buy gas from Russia
Re: EU Approves New Sanctions Against Russia by ogascomax: 2:05pm On Feb 19, 2025
Trump is even planning to remove those sanctions initially and these clown are adding more forgetting that that will still suffer it. Most things that Europe use are either produced in Asia or Russia. Europe is so stupid because how can they be depending on Asia and Russia for their production that is why that can't even stand China.

U mean EU with over 20 trillions dollar economy are parasite. All this IPOB and Muslims self. Do you know that they deliberately gave US their security then focus on something else. They have the money to pursue US military out of their land and develop their own security since US through that Orange man is becoming authoritative like Putin.

One must be wise in this life. Don't allow people to use your head to destroy your country, oooo. For the past 3 years, the EU couldn't figure out a solution to end the war, but when Trump decided to end it without involving them, they are now crying and imposing sanctions that wouldn't make any dent on Russia.
Re: EU Approves New Sanctions Against Russia by hotseat: 2:14pm On Feb 19, 2025
The EU is now standing up to be counted with or without Trump's USA.



For far too long, the EU had allowed itself to be tied to the apron strings of the USA and the time has now come to put a stop to the Trump's shenanigans.



Trump's admiration for undemocratic characters like Putin and his co-travellers is not hidden.



He intends to emulate them by annexing some regions too!



DT has even falsely blamed Ukraine for starting the war to please his bosom friend and mentor, Madman Putin.



Long time allies are now his worst enemies while long time enemies are now his best friends.



DT doesn't mean well for the world!

Europe doesn't want to turn their continent to a warzone, and neither do they inherently want to fight Russia, only wants to weaken it and put it in its place.

Russia's invasion to Ukraine gave them a proxy to weaken Russia, that's all.
