(ANSA-AFP) - BRUSSELS, FEB 6 - EU chief Ursula von der Leyen proposed Friday a new round of sanctions against Moscow over the Ukraine war, including a ban on providing shipping services for Russian crude oil. The package, meant to be approved for the fourth anniversary of Moscow's invasion on February 24, also targets Russian banks, cryptocurrency traders and metal exports. The latest EU moves against the Kremlin come as the United States has been mediating talks between Russia and Ukraine to stop the fighting. "We must be clear-eyed: Russia will only come to the table with genuine intent if it is pressured to do so," von der Leyen said. "This is the only language Russia understands. That is why we are stepping up today." The prohibition of maritime services such as insurance and port access for Russian crude oil exports is the latest effort by Brussels to squeeze Moscow's key energy revenues. Von der Leyen said the EU would look to enact the ban in coordination with "likeminded partners" after a decision of the G7 global powers. (ANSA-AFP).
