18 July 2025
The 27 European Union member states have agreed on an 18th round of sanctions targeting Russia for invading Ukraine.
The measures are intended to further reduce Moscow's income from the export of oil to non-EU countries.
Slovakia had been holding up the decision, citing concerns over its gas imports, but Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico relented.
