If russia continues to win on the battlefield, expect the euro's to offer to drop most sanctions in return for a ceasefire as well as to prevent further russian gains. The discussion for the 6th round of sanctions today made clear that russian gas exports will NOT be part of them. So much for being tough huh?EU leaders holding a two-day summit in Brussels agreed late Monday to pursue a partial ban on Russian oil, paving the way for the sixth package of sanctions. The sanctions would forbid the purchase of crude oil and petroleum products from Russia delivered to member states by sea but include a temporary exemption for pipeline crude, European Council President Charles Michel said.
