The European Commission began to prepare new sanctions against Russia. The package involves limiting oil prices, as well as a ban on the import of diamonds and other luxury items. In addition, it is planned to expand the black list of individuals, writes Politico with reference to the diplomats of the European Union.
It is noted that new measures will be discussed on September 23.
Currently, the EU countries, as well as the USA and Canada, are working on the introduction of the ceiling of prices for Russian oil, trying to enlist the support of other countries, including India and China.
They want to coordinate the implementation of the ceiling ceiling with the sixth EU sanctions, which provides for the oil embargo from December 5 and the oil product from February 5. At the same time, Russia threatened to stop the sale of oil to countries that will join the limitation of prices.
