“Today, we are further tightening the restrictive measures against Russia's military and defence sector. We remain united in our determination to dent Russia's war machine and help Ukraine win its legitimate fight for self-defence.”

“This 12th package will include … new export bans, among them … diamonds. There would also be actions to tighten the oil price cap, in order to decrease the revenue that Russia is getting from selling its oil - not to us but to others - [and] fighting against circumvention.”

“Banning 90% of Russian oil imports gives a big blow to Putin's war chest. Withdrawal of Patriarch Kyrill shows limits of foreign policy based on unanimity. Religious leaders should not be shielded from responsibility for supporting Putin's war.”

“Agreement to ban export of Russian oil to the EU. This immediately covers more than two thirds of oil imports from Russia, cutting a huge source of financing for its war machine. Maximum pressure on Russia to end the war.”

“We're getting a little bogged down in all of the details and we're forgetting the big picture. It's only money, the Ukrainians are paying with their lives. We can and we must support them, if only out of self interest because only when Russia is defeated can we in Europe feel safe.”

“The sky-high fossil fuel prices and continued imports into Europe have provided the Kremlin with a major windfall and undermined the effect of economic sanctions.”

“All things considered, it's holding up better than initially expected. The Russian economy is still projected to fall into a recession later this year. But so far, it has managed to blunt the harshest economic consequences of the Western sanctions.”

“EU's proposed sixth round of sanctions on Russia notably makes no reference to Russian gas. Why? Because in a sense it's a bit like it is the elephant in the European living room - it is too big to be ignored but also so big that to do away with it straight away might have a catastrophic effect on economies across this continent.”

“Putin must pay a price, a high price, for his brutal aggression. We will make sure that we phase out Russian oil in an orderly fashion, in a way that allows us and our partners to secure alternative supply routes and minimises the impact on global markets.”

“We have managed to reach a situation where Germany is able to bear an oil embargo. This means it won't be without consequences. We still have no solution for the refinery in Schwedt. We can't guarantee that supplies will be continuous. There will for sure be price hikes and there will be some outages. But that doesn't mean we will slide into an oil crisis.”

“The consequences of an oil embargo would likely cause a recession in Europe. While the US, the EU, the UK, and other countries have sanctioned Russia, Russian export revenues since the beginning of the invasion is not decreasing. Even if European governments agreed to stop Russian coal imports starting in August, it is not enough. The prices for oil would increase on a global scale. Using alternative oil provisions from the Middle East and Africa would take time, which in turn would force European countries to adopt an energy policy characterised by austerity.”
