EU and China face off over Russia sanctions.

EU envoys are discussing proposed new sanctions over Russia's war in Ukraine that would target Chinese and Iranian firms and allow export curbs on third countries for busting trade restrictions. The plan does not go far enough for Russia hawks, while others are wary of damaging their international ties. The EU's chief executive unveiled the plan on a symbolic trip to Kyiv on Tuesday. Widely differing perspectives mean a quick deal is not expected.
