European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EC was proposing to extend the sanctions “until January 2023.”
“Russia’s brutal war against Ukraine continues unabated. Therefore, we are proposing today to tighten our hard-hitting EU sanctions against the Kremlin, enforce them more effectively and extend them until January 2023. Moscow must continue to pay a high price for its aggression,” said President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, added: “The EU’s sanctions are tough and hard-hitting. We continue to target those close to Putin and the Kremlin. Today’s package reflects our coordinated approach with international partners, including the G7. In addition to these measures, I will also present proposals to the Council for the listing of more individuals and entities, with their assets frozen and ability to travel curtailed.”
