The EU is reportedly considering dropping its current sanctions package approach against Russia due to the misuse of veto powers, which has resulted in lengthy delays.At present, each sanctions package against Russia is adopted at the EU level, requiring unanimity among all 27 member states. This has allowed member states to bargain for more favorable terms to shield their own interests by using their veto powers.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official.According to the Financial Times (FT), one idea under consideration is to adopt sanctions individually at the national level or break them down into smaller packages to avoid delays caused by disagreements over one of the many aspects of the packages.The FT said the idea is championed by the European Commission and some of Ukraine’s staunchest allies within the bloc.“It’s now very clear that this approach does not work any more,” one unnamed European official told the FT, adding that the package passed on Thursday might be “the last ‘package’ of sanctions.”The EU adopted its 21st package of sanctions against Russia on July 23, with measures ranging from a $44 per barrel Russian oil price cap and allowing member states to sell confiscated oil to a visa ban for Russian combatants.Earlier reports said the package was held up by various member states due to disputes over measures affecting their economic interests – such as Bulgaria’s insistence on dropping Patriarch Kirill of Moscow’s Orthodox Church from the sanctions list and Vienna’s objections to measures that could affect Raiffeisen Bank’s operations in Russia.
