The central question for Japan is no longer whether its past support was justified, but whether it can be sustained. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/06/japan/japans-support-for-ukraine/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #russiaukrainewar #ukraine #russia #ukrainejapanrelations #aid #sanctions #g7 #nato #defense

European Union countries on Monday gave their final approval to the bloc's plan to ban Russian gas imports by late 2027, allowing it to pass into law. The policy makes legally-binding the EU's vow to cut ties with its former top gas supplier, nearly four years after Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. FRANCE 24's Emerald Maxwell reports.

In a pair of extraordinary moves, 2 federal judges issued #CourtOrders Tues saying they intend to remove Halligan from the helm of a key US attorney’s office in Virginia & threatening #disciplinary #sanctions for any govt #lawyer who continues to refer to her as US attorney in #legal filings.

My blogpost 'Impact of US sanctions on IT services' is ever more relevant with rising tensions. No what-if, but a list with different types of real-world concrete actions.

#DonaldTrump imposed #sanctions on the #ICC & demands that the Hague modify its founding charter to guarantee the #US empire impunity for its invasion crimes.
The #UnitedStates claims its geopolitical adversaries are "rogue states," but overwhelming evidence shows Washington violates international #law more than all other countries on Earth

An ambassador from #Asia was told that, if he voted in favor of the plan, his country’s sailors would no longer be allowed to disembark at #US ports. #Caribbean diplomats were told that they could be #blacklisted from entering the US. And #MarcoRubio, the secy of #state, personally called officials in several countries to threaten financial penalties & other punishments if they continued to support the agreement to cut ship #pollution.
These & other #threats, including #tariffs, #sanctions & the revocation of diplomats’ #US #visas, effectively killed the deal, according to the 9 American, European & developing-nation diplomats directly involved in the negotiations. They spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of #retribution from the #Trump admin.

Trump and Marco Rubio are preparing to wage economic war on #Nicaragua with 100% tariffs. Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. The people of Nicaragua are deeply religious Christians. This will hurt them the most.

U.S. and European sanctions on Russian oil may not be enough to pressure Putin into ending the war in Ukraine, as Western resolve and actions remain lacking. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/10/27/world/only-credible-threats-will-stop-putins-war/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #us #eu #sanctions #defense
We welcome the Council's adoption of the 19th package of sanctions against Russia.
The new EU sanctions increase the pressure on the Russian war economy, targeting energy, banks, crypto and the military industrial base.
A total ban on Russian Liquefied Natural Gas and a further clamp-down on the shadow fleet represent the strongest sanctions yet on Russia's crucial energy sector.
