The fifth EU sanctions package against RUSSIA will include restrictions on aircraft leasing, the export and import of aviation fuel, steel products and luxury goods, CNBC reports, citing two sources.
According to them, work on anti-Russian sanctions is still underway and the composition of the restrictions may change.
German Economics Minister Robert Habeck previously argued that the new restrictions could affect the financial sector and technological products, as well as personal sanctions.
CNBC also reports that the EU has not yet reached an agreement on a key issue - whether to extend restrictions on Russian energy imports.
A number of EU countries do not agree with the imposition of an embargo on such supplies; first of all, they are not ready to abandon Russian gas. “We have to increase the pressure on Putin and we have to isolate Russia – we have to cut off all economic ties with Russia, but right now we don’t have the option to cut off gas supplies,” German Finance Minister Christian Lindner told CNBC.
