French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has announced that the European Union, on France's initiative and in coordination with US senators, is preparing a new package of the toughest sanctions against Russia since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Source: Barrot in a comment to French TV channel TF1

Details: Barrot stated that following the ceasefire proposal put forward by US President Donald Trump and supported by Ukraine, the number of Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities has increased fivefold.

Quote: "This cannot go on any longer, this must come to an end. To achieve this, in coordination with American senators, Europe is preparing, based on French proposals, to introduce the toughest sanctions we have imposed in the past three years which will directly drain the resources that allow Vladimir Putin to continue his war."

Details: Barrot said the new package would not focus solely on the energy sector, particularly oil export revenues, but will also target financial players both within Russia and abroad. It concerns legal entities and individuals who help the Kremlin circumvent existing sanctions. He emphasised that it is precisely because of this support that Putin is able to continue waging war despite mounting international pressure.

"Putin is no longer advancing at the front and is now reduced to raining missiles and drones down on residential areas, causing numerous civilian casualties. This must stop," Barrot stressed.

Background:

European Pravda, citing two diplomats from influential EU countries, reported that the 18th EU sanctions package against Russia had been discussed and ultimately not adopted during a meeting of the EU Committee of Permanent Representatives (Coreper) in Brussels on 4 July due to Slovakia’s opposition.The initiator of the US sanctions bill against Russia over oil trade, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, stated that Trump supported its adoption in Congress.Senators Lindsey Graham (Republican) and Richard Blumenthal (Democrat), supported by 82 co-sponsors, introduced the bill to impose economic sanctions on Russia for obstructing ceasefire efforts in its war of aggression against Ukraine, particularly by imposing a 500% tariff on goods imported from countries that purchase Russian oil.The bill also has support in the House of Representatives, though no legislative steps have been taken since it was introduced this spring.Trump has publicly stated he would impose new sanctions against Russia "if necessary".

The suspended deliveries of some US military assistance to Ukraine could resume following high-level meetings between US and Ukrainian officials scheduled to take place in Rome and Kyiv next week.

Source: Politico, citing two sources familiar with the plans

Details: The sources stated that Keith Kellogg, US President Donald Trump's Special Envoy for Ukraine, is expected to hold two meetings with Ukraine's Defence Minister Rustem Umierov – first in Rome at an international aid conference and then in Kyiv. The resumption of weapons deliveries, which were suspended earlier this month, is expected to be a key topic of discussion.

The sources noted that the US had informed Kyiv of its intention to resume deliveries of engineering equipment and certain types of armoured vehicles. However, no specific timeline has been set.

Kellogg spokesperson Morgan Murphy said the meeting between Kellogg and Umierov in Kyiv had not initially intended to address US military assistance and had been "set up before news of the arms pause came to light last week".

Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stressed on Monday 7 July that this is not a complete halt in assistance, but "a pause, to review, to ensure that everything the Pentagon is pushing out there is in the best interests of our military and our men and women in uniform."

Politico mentioned that the suspended assistance package includes 8,400 155-mm artillery shells, 142 Hellfire missiles, 252 guided rockets for multiple-launch rocket systems with a range of up to 80 km and 30 missiles for Patriot air defence systems.
