Since Russian President Vladimir Putin Russia is not promoting Ukraine at the end of the continuous war war of Russia, the EU resolved a new sanction package on Tuesday.
The now 17th EU package with Russian sanctions provides for a further tightening of the procedure against the so-called Russian shadow fleet for the transport of oil and oil products. In addition, dozens of other companies that are involved in the bypass of existing sanctions or support the Russian arms industry.
Meinl Reisinger and Tanner in Brussels
According to the EU outside country Kaja Kallas, the new measures also relate to hybrid threats from Russia and the human rights. Further sanctions are in preparation. There are currently for Austria Bathe Meinl-Reisinger (Neos) and Klaudia Tanner (ÖVP) in Brussels.
Kallas and Pistorius critically against Trump-Tutin call
The focus of the Ministers of Defense in the morning was the upgrading of Europe and the further military support of Ukraine. Foreign Ministers want to talk about Ukraine in the afternoon and the situation in Gaza and Syria and decide on new sanctions in Russia.
On the phone call between US President Donald Trump and the Russian head of the state of Vladimir Putin, Tanner explained for the meeting that in the fourth year of the war “with this immeasurable suffering” every initiative was good; But you will see “at the end of the day how much it does”.
Her German counterpart Boris Pistorius was more critical: yesterday’s conversation confirmed that Russia would give statements, but there was no proof of declared intentions. Putin is not ready for concessions; He only wanted a “ceases -fire about his conditions”. A cease -the Fire cannot be provided. After the phone call, Trump said that Russia and Ukraine would “immediately” negotiate negotiations about a ceasefiring.
Kallas called for “hard measures” from the United States when Russia was not ready for a cease -the fire. The United States would have announced consequences for Moscow; The Estin also wants to see this. Ukraine already knew himself 60 days ago for a ceasefish. Kallas again called for “more pressure” on Russia, also with the 17th sanction package. Kallas and Pistorius called for further sanctions in the energy sector. According to Kalla’s sanctions, sanctions must be lifted against Syria.
Tanner requires more European defense capacity
Tanner was convinced: “If the EU had not spoken with one voice from the start, Ukraine would no longer exist.” However, it is also convinced that it is “infinitely necessary” that “we strengthen our defense skills and prepare ourselves for all possible risks that can threaten.” This was not really done in the past. Austria and other armies “rely on others”.
The EU plan “Readiness 2030” wants to close capacity gifts. According to Tanner, it is also important to “bring people”. Since all this costs money, joint EU purchasing are all the more important. Austria with around 400 soldiers will be involved in the rapid intervention power of the EU. Domestic expertise is mainly available here in the logistics area.
