The EU Commission has presented a proposal for another package of sanctions against Russia over the invasion of Ukraine.

The package contains, among other things, the legal basis for a price cap for oil imports from Russia and other import restrictions worth seven billion euros, said Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels.

This explains a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry on Telegram.
