New EU Sanctions Package Against Russia: Why It Was Delayed and When to Expect It.

According to inkorr.com:  

According to information from Politico, the 19th package of restrictive measures against Russia, scheduled for September 16, is being delayed, but it is promised to be presented by the beginning of next week.

Initially, the European Commission planned to announce this package on September 16, but this plan was disrupted due to U.S. President Donald Trump's demands on European partners. Trump demanded greater activity on sanctions as a condition for continuing support for the restrictive policy. These demands complicated decision-making in Brussels.

European Commission representatives reported that the presentation of the sanctions package has been postponed to Friday, September 19, or Monday, September 22. The High Representative of the EU stated that a decision on the package would be made soon. She also expressed the need to intensify strikes on Russian banks, energy companies, cryptocurrency exchanges, and the 'shadow fleet'.

The delay in implementing the new European Union sanctions package against Russia is related to U.S. President Donald Trump's demands on European partners. These demands have posed certain difficulties in decision-making in Brussels. The sanctions package is expected soon, and the European Union intends to increase pressure on Russian banks, energy companies, and other key sectors of the economy.

This development reflects the ongoing pressure from the U.S. on its allies regarding sanctions against Russia. New restrictions are expected to have a significant impact on Europe's economic relations with Russia. The situation remains dynamic, and further steps by the EU and their consequences will be a focus for the international community.
