Analysis of the EU's role in the new round of economic sanctions against Russia by the US and Europe

In a new round of economic sanctions against Russia in 2014, the United States wants to use the economic power of the European Union to more effectively rein in Russia.The EU generally supports and cooperates with us sanctions, but is concerned about harming its own interests, especially energy trade, which has a significant impact on the EU's common interests and divides the EU.In the future, the EU's role in economic sanctions against Russia will be influenced by numerous factors, including Ukraine's energy confrontation with Russia, Russia's anti-economic sanctions, the side role of economic sanctions and the evolution of the international economic situation, etc. In General, it is difficult to work with the United States to advance a strategy of deterrence against Russia.
