EU official Karas: Comprehensive sanctions have been introduced in this round, directly attacking the three core areas that maintained Russia's wartime economic operation: the Russian financial system, the military industrial complex, and the energy industry. The sanctions will not stop there. We have begun to look into additional measures to follow up. The EU must always be prepared to deal with any further escalation of Russia's conflict.
