EUROPE SPLITS? EU Sanctions Collapse as Germany, France & Greece Block 21st Russia Package!

The European Union’s drive to enact its 21st package of punitive sanctions against Russia has stalled following widespread pushback from member states, exposing deepening fault lines over the economic fallout of Brussels' containment strategy. According to diplomatic sources, major economies including Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Austria, and Portugal either blocked core provisions or demanded targeted exemptions during ambassadorial negotiations, highlighting growing reluctance to compromise national industrial sectors. Key sticking points include Athens opposing restrictions on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) maritime transit alongside opposition from Berlin and Lisbon against bans on Russian seafood imports. As diplomats warn that Europe is approaching the practical limits of its economic warfare framework, the standoff underscores how internal business priorities are actively fracturing the bloc's unanimous diplomatic stance against Moscow.
