EU to launch sixth package of sanctions next week, says Jourová

EU Commissioner Věra Jourová told Czech Television on Sunday that she expects the European Union will pass a sixth package of sanctions on Russia next week.

Aside from sanctions on the main Russian bank Sberbank, member states are also considering an embargo on energy imports. However, she says that some states who are dependent on Russian oil have reservations. The EU will also sanction more individuals and companies associated with the Kremlin regime, she said.
