The Council of the European Union has extended economic sanctions against Russia for the next six months for its aggression against Ukraine - until the end of January 2025.
This was reported by the press service of the EU Council.
By its decision on Monday, the EU Council extended economic sanctions against Russia for the next six months - until January 31, 2025.
These are the sanctions restrictions first applied by the EU in 2014 and the economic sanctions that were added in February 2022 after the start of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.
“As long as Russia's unlawful actions continue to violate the principle of the prohibition of the use of force, which is a serious breach of its obligations under international law, it will be appropriate to maintain all measures applied by the EU and to take additional measures if necessary,” the communiqué said.
