In Brussels, a new package of EU sanctions against Russia was adopted, which will take effect from tomorrow - September 12, reports GHN based on Ukrinform.
"The EU Council postponed the imposition of sanctions for a few days. Diplomats said they are counting on some real steps from Moscow to stabilize the situation in Ukraine. However, this did not happen, and the EU Permanent Representatives Committee issued a decision: to publish a new package of sanctions on September 12. Earlier, it was reported that the restrictions will affect both companies and individuals. The sanctions' list includes, according to the Wall Street Journal, Rosneft, Gazpromneft and Transneft," a statement reads.
