The European Union has agreed on the 19th package of sanctions against Russia.

European Union ambassadors have agreed on the 19th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation due to the war in Ukraine.

This was reported by Brussels-based Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reporter Rikard Jozwiak on the social network X.

“EU sanctions against Russia were finally agreed upon this evening! The 19th package since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine,” he wrote.

As Bloomberg journalists previously reported, the main package of sanctions is aimed at depriving Moscow of energy revenues, as well as increasing pressure on Vladimir Putin to begin peace negotiations.

According to the publication, the 19th package should include:

• a ban on imports of liquefied natural gas from Russia from January 2027, a year earlier than previously planned
• Sanctions against Russian banks, financial institutions in Central Asia, and several crypto exchanges (which help with sanctions evasion)
• trade restrictions against Chinese and Indian companies
• a ban on the export of goods worth over 40 billion euros (minerals, ceramics and rubber)
• more than 100 more tankers of the shadow oil fleet

As a reminder, the head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, previously stated that the European Union plans to adopt the 19th package of sanctions against Russia .
