(Reuters) -European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen said on Tuesday that she had a call with U.S. President Donald Trump on strengthening joint efforts to increase economic pressure on Russia through additional measures.
Von der Leyen said in an X post that the commission will propose speeding up the phase-out of Russian fossil imports.
“Russia’s war economy, sustained by revenues from fossil fuels, is financing the bloodshed in Ukraine,” she added.
