European Union leaders agreed to cut 90% of oil imports from Russia by the end of this year, European Commission chief Ursula Von der Leyen said early on Tuesday.

“I am very glad that the leaders were able to agree in principle on the sixth sanctions package . This is very important,” she said.

“We have agreed that the Council will revert to the topic as soon as possible in one way or the other. So, this is a topic where we will come back to and where we will still have to work on, but this is a big step forward, what we did today,” she said. The EU has rolled out five rounds of sanctions since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, demonstrating uncharacteristic speed and unity given the complexity of the measures.

It is just arrogance and egos, EU will suffer they know for a fact that they need Russian to survive 40% of its guess comes from Russia etc.

Then European will suffer.

Excellent decision.

They can't afford that especially those economically small EU countries, any disruption will wreak havoc for them and their people. Soon there will be a rise in economic protests in the EU when the effects of the war really hit everyone.

More struggle is coming for them
