The EU has failed to approve a new round of sanctions of Russia, EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas said after a meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels, APA reports.
Kallas said she was "really sad" that there wasn't an agreement today. She said she was still "optimistic," however, that had a deal would be reached tomorrow.
In order to adopt the sanctions, the 27 EU members states would have to agree on adopting the punitive measures against Moscow. Slovakia has been reportedly holding up the sanctions due to concerns over a EU proposal to end imports of Russian gas by January 1, 2028.
