Ukraine's European allies threatened sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline unless Moscow agrees to a 30-day ceasefire - Wall Street Journal.
It was reported that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had discussed this initiative with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
The article pointed out that sanctions on Nord Stream 2 will be implemented separately from the EU's current restrictive measures, and if Russia refuses to observe the ceasefire or violates the ceasefire agreement, the sanctions may be immediately enforced.
According to sources of the publication, Berlin also announced its readiness to take all political and legal measures to prevent the resumption of the project.
The article stated that at the same time, the EU plans to double the number of ships transporting Russian oil that are blacklisted.
