Under the new sanctions will fall industries that bring Russia 12 billion euros a year.
The new package of EU sanctions against Russia, most likely, will not include restrictions on oil prices. This was announced by the European editor of Radio Liberty Rikard Jozwiak in Twitter on Sunday, September 25th.
“While the G7 is still working on the details of the oil price cap, it is unlikely to feature in the emergency EU sanctions package against Russia,” he wrote.
Yozwiak added that there will likely be sanctions against the chemical and engineering industries, as well as metal products for a total of 12 billion euros.
In addition, people involved in “referendums” in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine will be subject to personal sanctions.
Earlier, Reuters reported that a new package of EU sanctions against Russia could be adopted at a meeting of the European Council on October 6-7. At the same time, it is argued that the restriction of prices for Russian oil corresponds to the step agreed by the G7.
Also, the head of EU foreign diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said that the foreign ministers of the EU countries agreed to prepare new sanctions against Russia and increase arms supplies to Ukraine.
