EU unity on Russia sanctions ‘crumbling’

"The unity the EU demonstrated after Russia launched its offensive in Ukraine is starting to
“crumble,” German Economy Minister Robert Habeck complained on Sunday. 

The warning comes ahead of the bloc’s summit to discuss a new sanctions package against Moscow and a potential oil embargo.

Earlier this week, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen offered an explanation as to why the EU still continues to buy Russian oil. “If we would completely, immediately, as of today cut off the [Russian] oil, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin might be able to take the oil that he does not sell to the EU to the world market, where the prices will increase, and sell it for more – and that would fill his war chests,” von der Leyen said in an interview with MSNBC."
