What are the potential future implications of the EU's actions and the obstacles to more substantial measures?

While the EU's actions represent a shift in its stance, more substantial measures face significant hurdles. The delay by Spain in implementing an arms embargo highlights the challenges in taking strong action against a long-standing geopolitical partner. Further, sanctions against specific Israeli ministers require unanimous consent from all EU member states, making success unlikely.

What are the current timelines for the EU's reduction of Russian gas and oil imports, and what challenges remain?

Oil imports are slated to stop by the end of 2027, despite 13 million tons of Russian crude oil reaching the EU market in 2024.
