“Europe and Ukraine expressed relief and Russia disdain Thursday after President Donald Trump canceled his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest and then slapped what he called ‘tremendous’ sanctions on Russia’s two biggest oil companies. … Adding to the pressure on Moscow, the 27-nation European Union agreed to adopt more sanctions — the bloc’s 19th package targeting Moscow — after weeks of internal negotiations. The measures introduce a phased ban on imports of Russian liquefied natural gas, the blacklisting of more ships from Moscow’s ‘shadow fleet’ and a ban on transactions with Rosneft and Gazprom Neft, another oil giant.” (10/23/25)
