Reuters: EU working on 10th round of Russia sanctions

13:12, 22.01.2023

European Union countries are working on a 10th package of sanctions to take effect next month against Russia for waging war against Ukraine, diplomatic sources told Reuters.

On Friday, senior diplomats from three middle-way countries said the next round of sanctions should be ready around the anniversary on Feb. 24 of Russia’s invasion of its neighbour, an ex-Soviet republic that in recent years has sought to integrate with the West.

No decisions on the matter are expected when EU foreign ministers meet on Monday, but some are likely to use the opportunity to push the discussion.

EU officials are also seeking approval from the ministers for a seventh tranche of military aid for Ukraine worth 500 million euros ($540 mln).
