In the latest episode of 'Europe vs. Russia: The Sanction Strikes Back,' EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and foreign policy head Kaja Kallas announced a fresh package of sanctions against Russia—because what’s better than recycling tension for the holidays? Confirmed by spokesperson Paula Pinho, these sanctions come with a side of vague press statement promises, no dollar figures, and an air of dramatic gravitas likely delivered from Brussels, the land of endless meetings and coffee. Stay tuned as Ursula and Kaja attempt to keep the witch-hunt alive, because apparently, paperwork still counts as warfare.
