Ambassadors of the European Union member states at the meeting of the Permanent Representatives Committee (Coreper) on November 11 preliminarily agreed to add 145 individuals and legal entities to the sanctions lists against Russia for involvement in Russian aggression against Ukraine, as well as cyberattacks and hybrid activities, according to Європейська правда.
This is stated by a EU diplomat knowledgeable about the meeting's outcome.
The final approval of the new sanctions lists is to be made by the EU Foreign Affairs Council, whose meeting will take place in Brussels on Monday, November 16.
"12 individuals and 101 legal entities will be added to the sanctions lists for actions against the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Among this hundred are 50 Russian banks", – reported the interlocutor of "European Pravda".
Sanctions will also be imposed on a number of companies that facilitate the activities of Russia's shadow fleet.
In addition, 30 individuals and one legal entity will be added to the list under the sanctions regime regarding Russia's hybrid activities. And one more legal entity – to the EU sanctions regime list regarding cyberattacks.
As "European Pravda" reported, on October 12 the EU approved the largest expansion of personal sanctions against Russia – the new list includes almost 1600 individuals and legal entities.
Recall that on September 22, the EU Council decided to extend the restrictive measures against persons responsible for undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine for another 36 months, but excluded Russian oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the list.
