EU sanctionson Russian imports of goods that can be used for military purposes,writes Reuters

The European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, may adopt a seventh round of sanctions against Russia on July 15, which would include a ban on Russian gold imports, Reuters reported, citing two sources. At the same time, the previously introduced restrictions will be reviewed so that they do not affect Russian grain and food exports.

One of the agency’s interlocutors said that compared to previous sets of restrictions, the new one will not be very large-scale, and called it the “sixth and a half” package of sanctions.

According to one of the sources, the ban on the import of Russian gold will include restrictions on its import from third countries, but the agency's source did not elaborate. He added that the EU will tighten existing restrictions on the import of goods that can be used for military purposes. In addition, the package of personal sanctions will be expanded to include new individuals and organizations that Brussels considers close to the Kremlin, three agency sources said.

On the eve of Bloomberg reported that Brussels is discussing the lifting of some of the individual sanctions against the Russians. European jurists decided that the restrictions against some of them were not strongly motivated. After filing lawsuits by some Russians, the legal service of the European Council told the EU ambassadors that some of these requests are justified, since the involvement of these people in the conflict in Ukraine is either untrue or outdated.
