βOn May 20, the EU will formally adopt its 17th package of restrictive measures against Moscow, following Russiaβs invasion of Ukraine. But before it even enters into force, the European Commission already has a follow-up round in the works.
The Commission promised an 18th package, following a new wave of Russian strikes on Ukraine and Moscowβs rejection of ceasefire proposals.
The EU is preparing a βmassiveβ new sanctions package against Russia.
βIf Russia does not want to come to the negotiating table, then Putin must pay the price,β said Belgian MEP Yvan Verougstraete, who backs deeper restrictions on energy revenue, maritime facilitators and sanctions circumvention.
Continuing to impose sanctions is most important, and making them more aggressive, viewing them as the only way to stop financing Russiaβs brutal invasion of Ukraineβ.

It is only a matter of time that EUA investors cash will be frozen. Soon much of the market will cotton onto this, and when that realisation hits there will be a massive selling surge, with everyone fighting to get out.
IMO.
