The EU adopted new sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, with diplomats saying the oligarch Roman Abramovich was among the individuals listed.
The EU presidency tweeted that the ambassadors of the bloc’s 27 member nations approved the fourth package of sanctions, hitting individuals and companies implicated in the assault on Ukraine.
It says their names were to be made public in a quick publication of the EU’s Official Journal legally announcing all the European Union’s decisions adding that the sanctions were worked out in concert with Western partners.
