The European Union will introduce additional sanctions against Russia in the banking and energy sectors. Bloomberg exclusive.
According to sources, the European Union intends to approve more than 100 new sanctions targeting banks, energy companies and tankers that illegally transport Russian oil.
The new sanctions are designed to respond to an increase in so-called hybrid attacks linked to Moscow, including cyberattacks, arson and a failed drone attack on a German airport.
EU foreign ministers are expected to approve the sanctions at a meeting in Brussels on Monday, the sources said.
In addition, according to sources, the European Union is working on another package of sanctions against Russia - the 22nd in a row - which may be adopted at the next meeting of foreign ministers in December.
EU defense ministers are expected to discuss the situation with China on Tuesday, focusing on reducing supply chain dependency and trying to stop Beijing's support for Russia's war in Ukraine.
