The eighteenth sanctions package must strike the aggressor where it really hurts โ€“ energy, LNG, oil, nuclear fuel and financial institutions must be our targets," he said, stressing that work on the new package must begin immediately.

"We have to proceed, because otherwise we're not meeting our words. And who will believe us when we will send this message again?" Budrys pointed out.

It probably has not happened yet because it could have a big impact on EU inflation. Are EU citizens ready to pay the price or will they vote more for far right populists for every additional euro on the energy bill? I think the citizens not directly facing the danger of Russian invasion are still not motivated enough to push the politicians to act.
