The sixth package of sanctions against Russia is approved

The European Council formally approved the sixth package of economic and individual sanctions against Russia and Belarus.

" With today's package, we are increasing the limits of the Kremlin's ability to finance the war by imposing further economic sanctions.

We ban the import of Russian oil to the EU and with this we have cut a massive source of income for Russia.

We exclude the most important Russian banks from the international payment system Swift and sanction those responsible for the atrocities that took place in Bucha and Mariupol.

"Finally, we ban more disinformation actors who actively contribute to President Putin's war propaganda, " said EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.
