The details of the agreement were approved at a meeting of ambassadors, and the approval of the final version of the text is expected on Wednesday, October 5th.
EU countries at the level of ambassadors agreed on the details of the eighth package of sanctions against Russia, the main element of which is restrictions on oil prices. The official approval of the new measures should take place on October 5, writes Politico.

It was noted that the next round of sanctions against Moscow provides a legal basis for establishing a price ceiling for Russian oil, which was previously agreed upon by the G7 countries. It also aims at “attacks” on the Russian Federation’s steel and defense industry, banning EU citizens from working on the management bodies of Russian state-owned companies, and new personal measures against those who help the president of Russia in the war against Ukraine.
As reported by the interlocutors of the publication on the condition of anonymity, the framework of the agreement on Tuesday, October 4, was agreed at a meeting of EU ambassadors, and the approval of the final version of the text is expected on Wednesday.
The plan for new restrictions was proposed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen last week after Russian leader Vladimir Putin threatened to use nuclear weapons and announced a mobilization.
The EU is working to make Putin “pay” for its escalation of aggression, which included holding sham referendums to annex four regions of Ukraine.
Despite verbal agreement on a new sanctions package, some diplomats remain cautious in their forecasts. One Politico spokeswoman said it could still “fall apart” before the signing.
