Summary:

The 27-member European Union (EU) has implemented a range of policy responses to Russia’s war against Ukraine. EU actions and coordination with the United States are of interest to Congress given the EU’s role as an important U.S. partner. (Also see CRS In Focus IF12277, Russia’s War on Ukraine: U.S. Policy and the Role of Congress.) The U.S. government and the EU have cooperated closely in responding to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Many sanctions are identical or substantively similar. The two partners have worked together on enforcing sanctions, suspending Russia’s preferential trade treatment under World Trade Organization rules, formulating the G7 price cap on Russian oil exports, and ensuring accountability for war crimes. The Biden Administration also committed to help the EU reduce its dependency on Russian gas, in part by boosting LNG shipments to the EU. Future U.S.-EU cooperation on Ukraine could be challenged by increasing strains on EU solidarity, including a dispute over EU imports of Ukrainian grain, and by possible “donor fatigue” and political divisions in the United States.
