EU ambassadors plan to meet on April 6 and discuss a new package of sanctions against Russia in connection with military aggression against Ukraine, informs Railway Supply magazine, referring to Rail.insider, citing Financial Times.

EU bans Russian energy imports

According to Financial Times sources, the sanctions proposed by some states will include both individual restrictions and an embargo on the export of Russian goods. Regarding the latter, we are talking about a ban on the purchase of Russian coal, oil, and gas.

In addition, a ban on the use of EU ports by Russian ships may be introduced.

As the newspaper notes, the energy embargo “previously met with resistance from some of the major European economies.”

At the same time, now “calls for sanctions against Russian energy exports are getting louder.”
