The European Union has agreed to extend its sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine after Hungary agreed to the move following weeks of stalling. “EU foreign ministers just agreed to extend again the sanctions on Russia. This will continue to deprive Moscow of revenues to finance its war,” the bloc’s foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas wrote on X on Monday. The EU’s 27 states have to agree unanimously to extend the sanctions every six months and the next deadline was looming on January 31.
