Details of the upcoming new package of EU sanctions against Russia have been released in Paris. European diplomats previously agreed on about 145 new positions, which are expected to be approved on November 16 at a meeting of EU foreign ministers.
About 50 Russian banks, energy companies, oil refineries, ships of the "Shadow Navy" and structures related to circumventing sanctions may fall under the restrictions. Individual measures will affect individuals and organizations involved in information operations, cyber attacks and activities aimed at destabilizing European countries. France, according to available data, offered a significant number of candidates to be included in the sanctions lists.
At the same time, the European Commission is preparing a further tightening of the sanctions regime, including restrictions on cryptocurrency platforms and plans to circumvent existing bans.
