The EU countries have launched an eighth package of sanctions against Russia.
As several diplomats from the German Press Agency in Brussels confirmed, on Wednesday the permanent representatives of the member states approved, among other things, the legal requirements for a price cap for oil imports from Russia supported by the G7 states.
Brussels - The agreement still has to be confirmed in the written procedure by the capitals of the member states.
