Meeting in Brussels, the bloc agreed it was ready to levy further sanctions on Russia and strengthen existing measures after talks with Ukraine\u2019s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who joined by video link.<\/p>\n<p>The show of unity was marred by Orb\u00e1n refusing to support an EU text declaring support for Ukraine, which stated: \u201cThe European Council calls on Russia to show real political will to end the war.\u201d The Hungarian prime minister similarly declined to support the EU position two weeks ago. Orb\u00e1n\u2019s growing confidence in diverging from the EU on Ukraine raises questions about the bloc\u2019s ability to impose new sanctions and renew existing ones, although diplomats take comfort from the fact Hungary has always acceded to the plans in the end.<\/p>\n<p>Zelenskyy told the EU leaders: \u201cPlease do not ease pressure on Russia over the war. Sanctions must remain in place until Russia starts withdrawing from our land and fully compensates for the damage caused by its aggression.\u201d In a clear reference to Hungary\u2019s efforts to stymie Ukraine\u2019s EU accession talks, Zelenskyy added, without naming any country: \u201cIt is simply anti-European when one person blocks decisions that are important for the entire continent or that have already been agreed upon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Jens Stoltenberg, the former Nato secretary-general who last month re-entered the Norwegian government as finance minister, said that uncertainty over US commitment to the transatlantic alliance was not a reason to \u201cgive up Nato\u201d, but a motivation for European countries and Canada to increase their contributions. Stoltenberg said that whether or not the US decided to reduce its Nato contributions, it was crucial for other Nato members to \u201cstand together\u201d and \u201cstep up\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to all do what we can to ensure that Nato remains a strong alliance between North America and Europe that has helped to keep us safe for more than 75 years. There have been differences and disagreements before but we have been able to overcome them by realising we are all safer when we stand together,\u201d he said speaking from Copenhagen shortly before Zelenskyy touched down in Norway on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the US should decide to reduce their contributions to Nato, it is even more important that we stand together the rest of us in Nato and step up, as European allies now do. And not least the United Kingdom, being the second largest military power in Nato after the United States.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0He added: \u201cI cannot rule out that the US will reduce their contributions to the Nato command structures, to the Nato forces, but I expect the United States to remain a Nato ally. The answer to that is not to give up Nato but to strengthen the European and Canadian contributions to Nato.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2025\/mar\/20\/eu-ready-to-impose-more-sanctions-on-russia-after-summit-talks\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/eu-ready-to-impose-more-sanctions-on-russia-after-summit-talks\/\">EU ready to impose more sanctions on Russia after summit talks<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,274,18293,588],"class_list":["post-138429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eu","tag-more-sanctions","tag-russia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138429\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
