EU confirms sanctions on Russia will remain until war ends

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa stated at the EU summit that sanctions against Russia will not be eased until Moscow stops its war of aggression against Ukraine, directly countering U.S. President Donald Trump's recent sanctions relief for a diesel deal with Russia.

Why it matters. This reaffirms the EU's unified stance on Russia sanctions, countering divergent U.S. policy and reinforcing pressure on Moscow amid ongoing transatlantic tensions over Ukraine support.
