“EU ambassadors today held consultations on a new package of sanctions against Russia. There will be proposals tomorrow, discussions on Monday, approval on Wednesday, if everything goes well,” he said.
According to him, the seventh package of sanctions will include a ban on the import of gold, on the export of high-tech and dual-use pharmaceutical goods, and gas price restrictions. In addition, family members of Russian oligarchs will be added to the sanctions lists.
Furthermore, the new sanctions package would aim to include closing loopholes to previously approved punitive measures, such as by adding certain products to the list of banned goods.
It also could include a reference to the recently published European Commission clarification of sanctioned goods’ transit to Kaliningrad in Russia, some EU diplomats suggested.
