Good meeting with @LindseyGrahamSC and a bipartisan delegation of US Senators.
Now is the time to raise the costs of Russia’s war higher than ever.
To bring Putin to the negotiating table with genuine intent.
Sanctions work.
And they work best when coordinated.
Europe’s 20th package of sanctions package will further tighten the pressure through measures on energy, financial services, and trade, and by cracking down on sanctions circumvention.
We propose a full maritime services ban which can further isolate Russia and cut its fossil fuel revenue especially if coordinated closely with our G7 partners and the United States.
