EU Fails to Agree on 21st Russia Sanctions Package Over Oil Cap and LNG Disputes

EU foreign ministers failed to approve the 21st sanctions package against Russia, stalled by Greece’s rejection of a Russian LNG phase-out and Austria’s demand for Raiffeisen Bank asset access. The package includes freezing the oil price cap, set to rise from $44 to $58 per barrel—above market price. Disputes also involve German fish imports and Bulgarian objections to individual sanctions. EU ambassadors will meet Tuesday for a last-ditch effort, while 250 new individual sanctions were approved separately.

US Bipartisan Bill Imposes Heavy Tariffs on Russian Oil Buyers

A bipartisan group of US senators, led by the late Lindsey Graham, introduced the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026, imposing up to 100% tariffs on the top five purchasers of Russian oil—including India and China—and 500% tariffs on Russian imports. The bill, backed by President Trump, targets Russia’s energy revenue to pressure an end to the Ukraine war. It exempts 15 European nations buying Russian gas and mandates sanctions on Putin and Russia’s shadow fleet. The legislation marks a major escalation in US economic warfare against Russia.

PM Modi receives Indonesia's highest civilian honor in Jakarta

On July 7, 2026, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was awarded the Bintang Adipurna, Indonesia's highest civilian honor, by President Prabowo Subianto in Jakarta for strengthening bilateral ties.
