EU told about the content of 14th package of sanctions against Russia

The European Union is preparing the 14th package of sanctions against Russia for its ongoing war against Ukraine.

This was reported by BR24.

A senior EU official said at a briefing that the new package would include punitive measures against those who circumvent existing sanctions against Russia.

At the same time, he added that the list of individuals and organizations whose assets in the EU should be frozen is also likely to be expanded again.

The EU External Action Service and the European Commission intend to present concrete proposals to member states next week.

It is worth noting that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the European Union has been steadily imposing sanctions on Russia in an effort to rein in the aggressor and stop its military machine. These restrictions hit Russian officials, oligarchs, key sectors of the economy, as well as companies and enterprises working for the benefit of the Russian regime.

On February 23, 2024, the EU adopted the 13th package of sanctions, further increasing pressure on Russia. The European Council decided to add 106 individuals and 88 legal entities to the sanctions list.
