BRUSSELS/LONDON/WASHINGTON ¨C The European Union and Britain announced new sanctions against Russia on Tuesday without waiting for Washington to join them, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin brought about neither a ceasefire in Ukraine nor fresh U.S. sanctions.
London and Brussels said their new measures would zero in on Moscow¡¯s ¡°shadow fleet¡± of oil tankers and financial firms that have helped it avoid the impact of other sanctions imposed over the war.
¡°Sanctions matter, and I am grateful to everyone who makes them more tangible for the perpetrators of the war,¡± Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram.
