  "account": "The European Union is set to discuss new measures against Russia, with potential actions including stricter visa rules for Russian citizens and additional sanctions on Russian diplomats, according to a Bloomberg report on September 3. These discussions come in the wake of Germany accusing Moscow of attempting a terrorist attack at Leipzig Airport, where explosives were allegedly delivered to a Ukrainian cargo plane via drones. In response, Germany closed Russia's consulate general in Bonn, marking the last such diplomatic mission in the country. The EU is also exploring ways to limit the movement of \"shadow fleet\" vessels that transport Russian oil illegally.",
  "summary": "The European Union is preparing for a series of meetings to discuss new measures against Moscow, including tighter visa rules for Russian citizens, Bloomberg reported on Sept. 3, citing people familiar with the matter.",
