The EU is preparing a new package of restrictions for the fall, which, if adopted, will be the largest since the start of Russia\u2019s full-scale war against Ukraine. Kaja Kallas, the EU\u2019s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy <a href=\"https:\/\/file.liga.net\/ua\/persons\/kallas-kaya\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">, spoke about this in an interview with Die Welt<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p>According to her, the sanctions imposed earlier have already inflicted significant damage on the Russian economy and military-industrial complex. Callas estimates that the Russian military machine has suffered losses of approximately 1 trillion euros as a result of the sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, she assured that Brussels does not plan to stop there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This fall, I will present the most extensive sanctions list since the start of the war. If it is adopted, the number of sanctioned Russian individuals, companies, and organizations will immediately increase by a third. The pressure must continue to mount until Russia ends the war,&#8221; Kallas said.<\/p>\n<p>The EU&#8217;s top diplomat did not specify exactly when she would present the new sanctions package or what restrictions it would include.<\/p>\n<p>The adoption of sanctions against Russia may be opposed by European political forces and certain countries that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liga.net\/en\/politics\/articles\/who-in-europe-is-playing-into-russias-hands-why-serbia-is-only-part-of-the-problem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">are openly siding with<\/a> the aggressor.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Callas noted that she hopes for a convergence of positions between Europe and the United States on the issue of sanctions against Russia, against the backdrop of Congress\u2019s consideration of a bill introduced by Senator <a href=\"https:\/\/file.liga.net\/ua\/persons\/grem-lindsi-\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lindsey Graham<\/a>, who died in July.<\/p>\n<p>was officially introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives <\/p>\n<p>This is a machine translation of the original article in Ukrainian.
