The EU is preparing a new blow: what is known about the 12th sanctions package against Russia

The European Union intends to ban the export of machine tools and machine parts that the Russian Federation can use to produce weapons. In particular, diamonds and other items may be subject to restrictions. This was reported by Bloomberg.


According to documents obtained by Bloomberg, the 12th package of EU sanctions against Russia may also include a ban on diamond exports and measures to strengthen control over compliance with the upper limit of Russian oil prices.


It is emphasized that this week the EU member states will consider all proposals for restrictions, and therefore they may change before they are approved.
