Today, on February 14, European Union ambassadors failed to agree on the 13th package of sanctions against Russia, according to a tweet of Radio Free Europe journalist Ricard Jozwiak.
"No green light today on the EU's 13th sanctions package on Russia," the journalist said.
According to him, Hungary needs until next week to study the package, which largely consists of individuals and organizations to be blacklisted.
13th package of sanctions against Russia
In January, the European Union began discussions on a new package of sanctions, which it intends to approve by February 24, 2024.
In early February, the media reported that the new package would include over 200 companies and individuals.
According to Reuters, the sanctions package will not include new restrictions on the import of Russian goods.
Later, the media reported that the European Union was proposing to impose sanctions against about 55 companies and over 60 individuals as part of the new package of measures, timed to coincide with the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
