The brief
European Union envoys have failed to reach an agreement on a new round of sanctions against Russia after three days of negotiations. As a result, the current Russian oil price cap has been frozen and extended until July 23.
Coverage from outlets including Reuters, Politico, Bloomberg, and Euractiv highlights that Greece has blocked the package due to concerns regarding LNG shipping. Additionally, reports from MSN note that the Bulgarian foreign minister has cautioned that targeting Patriarch Kirill could potentially increase skepticism toward the EU.
Whether the impasse can be resolved before the July 23 deadline remains to be seen. Coverage does not yet specify how the EU intends to address the stated concerns regarding shipping and the inclusion of specific individuals in future negotiations.
