The European Union’s top diplomat said Brussels will impose new sanctions on Russia for waging war against Ukraine, targeting Moscow’s oil industry, banks, and those responsible for disinformation.
“We are working on the sixth package of sanctions which aims to de-SWIFT more banks, list disinformation actors, and tackle oil imports,” Josep Borrell, head of the foreign policy unit at the EU’s executive European Commission, said in a tweet.
The latest round of sanctions would also affect Sberbank, Russia’s top lender, diplomats said, adding it to several banks that have already been excluded from the SWIFT messaging system.
Borrell said the Commission’s proposed measures against Russia, which attacked Ukraine by land, sea, and air on February 24, would be presented to the 27 EU member states for approval.
