EU should impose total ban on Russian oil, says Von der Leyen: 'We want Ukraine to win'

Ursula von der Leyen's proposal of a ban on Russian oil imports to the EU was met with lengthy applause from MEPs in Brussels.

Vladimir Putin has to pay a 'high price for his brutal aggression' in Ukraine, the European Commission president said during a speech proposing the sixth package of sanctions, including a ban on Russian media in the EU. Von der Leyen said the supply of crude oil from Russia would be prohibited within six months and refined products would be banned by the end of the year, while she acknowledged the demands from countries such as Slovakia and Hungary for additional flexibility. The sanctions package, which also targeted military figures involved in the massacre of civilians in the town of Bucha and the siege of the port city of Mariupol and blocking Russian state television from being broadcast in the 27 member states, will require unanimous support from the EU member states

This is the problem of having created the EU, no one will agree with each other and they're better off as being separate.

Who is this woman anyway, she is not an elected representative and holds more power than any president? Her opinion should have as much importance as my hairdresser's

[Budanevey]

What to do about Russia's other customers? Boycotts?

[roninhood]

That’s ‘UNELECTED’ European commission president Ursula von der Leyen

[mohamadyasinowadally]

What you want and what you get are two different things

[joebloggs]

Y Didn't EU sanction themselves when they were attacking afghan iraq amongst all the other wars they started

[concernedcitizen]

PLENTY of other countries ready to buy

[easternwestern]

Being the fact that Russia is the second biggest producer of petroleum, it will be hard to get around its supplies.

[niweshlekhak]

She looks like that teacher in school who repeats everything twice.

[sasapejn]

What a parody, speak in front of an empty hall and get applause from five deputies. Ursula expresses the wishes of Great Britain and its colonies, instead of protecting the interests of the EU and its citizens.

[vintagedress]

She is telling about the ban on the news and increases the volume in fact. Russia sold these last months record amounts of gas and oil for record prices thanks to sanctions. Thank you Ursula from Russian people! More sanctions, please, it makes oil very expensive for you)))

[gabjon]

Is this not duplication of NATO proposal?🥺.

[sionuts]

It will be cold and starvation, what your leaders will bring. Rejoice!

[kaayisa]

This lady is going to extend the war and will regret more ahead.

[TMM-N]

They have deviated from its core mission
A defensive alliance
This evil woman nneed to be rmeove

[hssabharwal]

You are absolutely right, but what will happen on the oil ban, will Russia stop the war? Russia has suffered a lot of damage to it, every country thinks about itself, this is no way to stop the war, the heads of all countries should come together and talk to Russia and because Russia also wants someone to make money and mediate If I have to bow down a bit to save lives for how many people, then there is nothing wrong, otherwise I should be allowed to talk on behalf of everyone.

[userqazwsxedc]

From which pulpit the sermon comes, Von der Liar?

[braystuskibassa]

But what next is the failures of EU an AMERICA also
