EU prepares fifteenth package of sanctions against russia

The European Union is working on the fifteenth package of sanctions against russia, which will strengthen measures to counteract the circumvention of restrictions in order to isolate the russian industry from imports.

This was stated by EU High Representative Josep Borrell at a joint press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga in Kyiv.

"We are working on the fifteenth package of sanctions against russia. We have to strengthen measures against sanctions circumvention, because russia cannot produce without imported spare parts, chips and other components. We must use sanctions to isolate russia's industrial capabilities from (the possibility of) imports from other countries,” he said.

Sibiga, for his part, emphasized the need to increase pressure on russia to impose tougher sanctions against countries that support russia's war.
