EU names provisions of 6th package of sanctions against Russia

A meeting of the European Parliament is taking place in Brussels, where the sixth package of EU sanctions against Russia is being discussed, Report informs.

"Today, we are presenting the sixth package of sanctions.

First, we are listing high-ranking military officers and other individuals who committed war crimes in Bucha.

We know who you are. And you will be held accountable," President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen tweeted.

"Second, we de-swift Sberbank – by far Russia's largest bank – and two other major banks.

Third, we are banning three big Russian state-owned broadcasters from our airwaves, that amplify Putin's lies and propaganda aggressively," she added.

"Finally, we now propose a ban on Russian oil. Let's be clear: it will not be easy. But we simply have to work on it. We will make sure that we phase out Russian oil in an orderly fashion. To maximize pressure on Russia, while minimizing the impact on our economies," she said.
