He has received two successive negative Covid-19 tests ahead of his departure from the US, and will fly home from Washington DC this evening.
Separately, US President Joe Biden is also travelling to Europe on a mission to bolster Western unity and increase unprecedented sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. Mr Sullivan also said that economic sanctions, imposed by a global network of Western allies to cripple Russia's finances, will be deepened.He gave no details, other than to say the package"will focus not just on adding new sanctions but on ensuring that there is joint effort to crack down on evasion on sanctions".
With a pre-existing energy crisis potentially getting worse, President von der Leyen also said she would discuss with President Biden prioritising liquified natural gas from the United States as a way to accelerate Europe's phasing out of Russian gas. The intense diplomacy marks a crucial moment in the standoff with Mr Putin, who seeks to force Ukraine from its pro-Western path.
If the conflict does drag on, Russia's ability to weather military losses and the crushing Western economic sanctions may partly depend on the position taken by China.
