American lawmakers have been seeking “coordinated” measures with Brussels by mid-June
The EU is unlikely to finalize its next round of Russia sanctions before the G7 summit in Canada later this month, despite calls from US lawmakers for coordinated action, the EUobserver media outlet reported on Tuesday.
US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has said he aims to push new sanctions through by mid-June. In a joint statement with Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, the two urged the EU and US to curb China and India’s purchases of discounted Russian oil. Graham and Blumenthal visited Kiev together on Friday.
Four EU diplomats earlier told EUobserver that the call to have “sanctions put in place – in coordination with Europe” by the G7 summit in Alberta on June 15-17 is unlikely to be met.
Both senators visited France over the weekend to urge their EU allies to take stronger action. Graham also met EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who said the bloc is preparing its 18th package of “hard-biting sanctions” against Moscow.
