In Albania, EU readying new sanctions to increase pressure on Russia as talks stall • FRANCE 24
Under a heavy downpour, Ukrainian President Vadom Zalinski strode into the summit. He joined European and other world leaders who have descended on Albania’s capital to discuss the future of European security. And one thing is on everyone’s mind, how to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine as negotiations hang in the balance. For Kama, pressuring Vladimir Putin is key. He’s been dragging his heels. Um and I think it’s really important therefore that we have absolute unity with our allies. We’ll be working on that again uh today to be clear that there must be a cease pub. The summit comes a day after the Russian president spurned an invitation from Zilinski to meet face toface in Turkey. Instead he sent a low-level delegation. A big mistake according to NATO’s chief. He has to play ball. He has to be serious about wanting peace. For the EU Commission President, it’s given due cause for the block to apply further penalties. And this is why we’re working on a new package of sanctions. This package will include, for example, sanctions on Nordstream 1 and Nordstream 2. It will include working on listing more vessels of the Russian Shadow Fleet and also lowering the oil price cap. and it will includes more sanctions on the financial sector. The gathering of leaders from almost 50 countries and organizations aims to address regional and global issues and how they can cooperate to improve the continent’s competitiveness and security. But first, a bit of fun. Welcome to Albania. Albania welcomed its guests with artificial intelligence portraying what they would look like as babies.
The European Union is working on a new package of sanctions to increase pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday as leaders from across Europe met in Albania.

Sanctions, are they looking to become comedians?
More idiotic sanctions – no visa for your uncle; no duck hunting during June in Russia, est. Politicians don't understand what sanctions really are or how to use them.
Increase 185% to Russia so EU can beat Trumps stupid tarriffs numbers
What kinds the sanctions left on the table?you done 17 time already and doesn't work, what is the difference this time?
More meetings, more speeches, more press conferences, more photo ops. And nothing substantialwill get done.
Cuckold union
Is there awareness in Europe that a faction within the U.S. Republican Party, through 'Project 2025,' aims to collaborate with far-right European parties, notably Viktor Orbán's party in Hungary, to dismantle the EU by shifting decision-making power solely to national governments?
Didn't work last time, and before that time, and before that time and before that time and before that time and before that time and before that time
All the sanctions should have been implemented at the start of the war. Not in small increments.
Again cocaine leader an other summit. Regular summit 😂😂😂
International water craziness will to bigger conflict. I think Russia is ready . Are they ready ?
I think pressure and sanction will not work. So Russia is not dare about it.
Russia told they will capturr Summy and kharkiv if peace deal will not take place. Summer offensive is coming.
The real victims are the European economy and the middle class
Don't worry – if the sanctions won't work they gonna make a new package
Sanction! Sanction!! Sanction!!!
Yes! More sanctions because the first 16,000 were sooooo effective! 😂😂
🎪🤡🤥🥱🥱🤣🤣🧫🦠🪰🪳🤦
If putin ignore to attend, allow ukraine to get NATO membership- this is right deal !
Slava Ukraine! Freedom loving countries stand united.
They realize that Russia is unbeatable. Now they want diplomacy . I they said they'd rather crush Russia on the battlefield, what went wrong?
Sanctions will never work…. Sanctions will even be Useless by next 10 years to come …..When the global South economy becomes the back bone of world economy…. Sanctions work in fast because western countries have the highest economics impacts on the world economy….But know there are multiple options….
Why don't we have an EU-wide referendum on the war in Ukraine? I'm sure we Europeans don't support crazy European instigator politicians.
Ursula puts new sanctions, Putin sends new drones and missiles. Escalation doesn't stop. Just as Russia couldn't scare Ukraine into surrender, the West can't scare Russia into anything.
Europe talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk.
