EU ambassadors approved a new expansion of the anti-Russian sanctions list and included 43 people and about 100 legal entities, a source in Brussels told TASS.
The decision was made at a meeting of the Permanent Representatives Committee of the European Union, he said. These were planned sanctions unrelated to the talks in Abu Dhabi, where the Europeans did not participate in the discussion, the source noted.
The approved restrictions are not related to the 22nd anti-Russian sanctions package that is still being prepared, he added.
