EU is too divided to do anything. My guess is Hungary will support it, UK will "strongly oppose" but do nothing to protect their trade deals and Germany will express support but do nothing not to engender their failing economy. Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands and Spain will enact some sanctions. Not sure about France... Anyway, EU as a whole will not respond. This was long time in the making. Tolerating foreign agents like Hungary for way too long, letting Germany weaken EU's security for their economic benefit through deals with Russia and not reacting to developments in US in time. Our politicians failed us and now we will feel the consequences.

Yeah I've been disgusted by the USA bootlicking of our leaders. The moment people manage to force the government finally stand up to Russia for a moment, they just seek new shoes to lick. Weak, foolish idiots, it doesn't matter how much golfing you do with Trump. You can't trust dictators
