Breaking News: A Shocking Rift Emerges
At 01:25 PM CEST on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, a new report stunned the world. The German Foreign Ministry, cited by Süddeutsche Zeitung, shared grim news. The EU and US stopped their joint work to fight Russian sanctions evasion. This rift could weaken the West’s stance against Russia.
Why Sanctions Mattered
Since Russia’s 2022 Ukraine invasion, the EU and US led tough sanctions. They aimed to hurt Russia’s war funds. For example, the G7 set a $60-per-barrel oil price cap in December 2022. Yet, Russia found ways to dodge these rules. It used “shadow fleets” of tankers and trade via China.
What Went Wrong?
The report shows a big problem. EU sanctions envoy David O’Sullivan called it a “total breakdown.” The US and EU can’t agree on priorities. The US might be pulling back due to politics at home. Meanwhile, EU nations like Hungary block stronger steps. X users are worried. They call it a “huge blow” to unity.
The Risks Ahead
This split could help Russia. It might fund its war more easily. The Ukraine conflict could drag on longer. The West needs a united plan. But that looks hard now. The EU may act alone, yet it faces its own issues. The US must decide if it will step up again.
What’s Next for the West?
The future of sanctions is unclear. Can the EU and US fix this gap? Or will Russia gain the upper hand? The world is watching closely. For the latest updates on this story, visit Bullish Stock Alerts.
