From DW News.

The European Union has agreed on a new raft of sanctions against Russia targeting its shadow fleet of oil tankers and banning its imports of liquefied natural gas.
The Danish EU presidency announced the package, which aims to further starve Moscow of energy revenue and pressure Vladimir Putin into negotiations. The EU’s move comes after US President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies. For the first time since his return to the White House in January, he’s imposing direct sanctions on Russia. Trump announced the measures after he hosted NATO Chief Mark Rutte for talks on how to support Ukraine.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is in Brussels for a summit with EU leaders. He was asked whether he thought the sanctions would make a difference to Russia.
