EU plans new Russia sanctions. According to the plans, significantly more than 200 people and companies could be affected by the additional punitive measures.
In addition to the 13th sanctions package, the long-planned skimming of proceeds from the custody of frozen Russian central bank funds for Ukraine could also be decided. The last EU sanctions package against Russia to date included, among other things, the ban on importing diamonds and diamond jewelry from Russia into the European Union. There has long been a far-reaching import ban on crude oil, coal, steel, gold and luxury goods, as well as punitive measures against banks.
