ATHENS

The EU has reached agreement on a new package of sanctions on Russia over Ukraine, the bloc’s foreign policy chief said on Wednesday.

Hailing the development, Kaja Kallas said on X: “We are upping the pressure on Russia to end its war.’

“It will target more of Russia’s shadow fleet, which is illegally shipping oil for revenues to fund (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s aggression,” she added.​​​​​​​
