the same values that we have well years president joe biden is set to announce new sanctions against russia when he travels to brussels this week to meet nato and e leaders. burton's diplomatic editor james bay's reports disagreements in europe over energy supplies could hamper moves for tougher sanctions. e u foreign ministers meeting earlier this week in the 4 weeks since the invasion, they've already agreed for packages of sanctions, which was some of the toughest ever imposed, as well as a fund of over a 1000000000 dollars to buy weapons for you. jane. i asked the used top foreign affairs official about further measures when the leaders meet here soon. do you expect there to be further? sanctions adopted this week and could they be extended to the energy sector formula? adoption of sanctions require procedure. and i don't think, dude indeed wake you will be a former adoption of sanctions according with our procedures. the reason is this,

the european union is now divided on even tougher measures. some countries, notably, germany oppose a complete ban on russian oil and gas experts. estimate the before the war, russian gas was costing western countries a $1000000000.00 a day. germany has been very foolish over the years. i mean, along with some other than the states. not only didn't, they reduce that dependency on russian oil and gas. they actually built is huge and not stream to pipeline, despite the fact that most of the other member states that don't do it because russia will weapon isaac, which is exactly what russia has done. you would you put your d m them even if sanctions are tightened? some believe hootin may not back down because he's not accomplished any of his was aims. so it's essentially an russian thinking that ukraine doesn't lead to the west . and i think that's put in the will prevents that at any price, as long as it's as long as it takes at any cost. that is what we see happening

right now. and if that means a long lasting war, and i think we are in, it's for a long time, i think russia will be prepared to take that cost when european union and nato leaders gather here in brussels. you can expect another show of unity more strong words against vladimir putin. but when it comes to concrete action, they probably gone as far as they can go. james bayes al jazeera brussels well still had to all al jazeera, the new warning from u. s. present joe biden. so russia, if any native member is hit by a cyber attack, and we look at how mexicans work the abroad, are healthy with country out of its economic recession. due to the corona virus pandemic. ah, look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored my cattle airways,

that's not necessarily the same thing as a military response. that response could take many different forms for president biden. and put met in geneva last year. the us president said key areas of infrastructure should be off limits to cyber attack. that was in response to the 2020 solar winds, attack. federal severs were hit, 30000 private companies and public organizations impacted. washington says the russian foreign intelligence service was behind that hack and addressing business leaders on monday. your bike want them to get ready. the magnitude of russia cyber capacity is fairly consequential and it's coming. federal government is doing this part to get ready. but let me be absolutely clear about something. it's not just if you're interested or stake with or potential use of cybersecurity, it is a national interest, a stick. the russian government denies its planning cyber attack thing. it would not resort to what it calls banditry. but officials here believe it's
