EU agrees on 9th round of sanctions against Russia
BRUSSELS (AA) – The European Union has agreed on a ninth round of sanctions against Russia in yet another effort to force it to stop its war against Ukraine.
The new sanctions, decided on Thursday, include blacklisting around 200 individuals and entities and three banks and restrictions on mining investments in Russia.
Exports of dual-use goods to Russia will also be banned.
Ambassadors from the Committee of Permanent Representatives in the EU agreed in principle on a sanctions package against Russia as part of the EU’s ongoing support for Ukraine.
