The European Union remains firm in its commitment to imposing sanctions on Russia, with plans for an 11th package already in the works. Headed by Ursula von der Leyen, the EU will focus on measures to counteract any attempts by Russia to circumvent previous restrictions. As tensions continue to escalate between Russia and the West, it remains to be seen what the next round of sanctions will entail, but the message from the EU is clear: they will not back down in the face of aggression.
