• Russia suffers three setbacks that weaken its position in Ukraine due to the Western realignment to pressure Putin.
• Trump imposes direct sanctions for the first time against the two largest Russian oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil.
• The European Council expands its sanction arsenal by prohibiting the importation of Russian liquefied natural gas and punishes the financial, military, and technological sectors.
