The EU is considering imposing a complete trade embargo against Russia

According to diplomats, following Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's rejection of the “silence regime,” leaders of the European Union (EU) and Britain are looking for ways to deliver a “knockout blow” to the Russian economy.

The plan under discussion is inspired by a proposal by Republican Lindsey Graham, who suggested imposing a 500% sanction on Russian exports. Potential measures against Moscow could include tariffs on Russian exports or a complete trade embargo.

Although Graham is unlikely to win support from White House chief Donald Trump on sanctions against Russia, Ukraine's supporters could push through their own “mega-package” without US involvement.

Today, May 16, EU countries and their neighbors, including Ukraine and Britain, are gathering in Albania for the sixth summit of the European Political Community (EPC).
