The head of European Union (EU) diplomacy, Kaja Kalas, said that on November 16 the EU plans to expand anti-Russian sanctions. She reported this on the X social network.
"On Monday, EU foreign ministers are to approve new sanctions lists against Russia, including against banks, buyers and companies that support the shadow fleet," Kalas wrote.
Russia opposes Western sanctions and considers them illegitimate. In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that more than 30,000 restrictions had been imposed on the country - almost twice as many as all other countries in the world combined.
