Could also be included in subsequent sanctions. According to her, the priority of sanctions is “reducing Putin’s income.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n She also directly defended the German government against accusations that it was slowing down restrictions on Russia: “Germany has agreed to all five packages of sanctions we have proposed within 48 hours.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Never before has the European Union “acted as cohesively, decisively and vigorously as it does now,” and Berlin has played a role in this, von der Leyen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
