The European Commission proposes a partial review of the association agreements with Israel, including sanctions on extremist ministers and tariffs, but without stopping arms sales. This measure is seen as insufficient and generates criticism, especially in the face of the crisis in Gaza. Germany and Italy oppose it, and the EU lacks a credible plan to address the humanitarian crisis.
In June 2025, a document was published urging Europe to increase sanctions against Russia’s ghost fleet, especially due to U.S. uncertainty. Since then, the EU and the UK have applied new sanctions, with the U.S. being less active. U.S. sanctions are more effective in discouraging ghost fleet activity. Coordination between the U.S., EU, and UK is crucial to reduce Russian oil revenues.
After the Putin-Trump summit in Alaska, the fate of Ukraine is uncertain due to deep territorial differences. Europe, the United States, and Canada must develop security measures for Ukraine. Despite possible diplomatic advances, peace faces significant obstacles and severe economic pressure is proposed to be applied to Russia, preparing for prolonged negotiations and a possibly suboptimal agreement.
