In the EU, ambassadors agreed on the 14th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation, which provides for new measures to eliminate loopholes for the Russians and their partners.

“EU ambassadors have just agreed on a powerful and significant 14th package of sanctions in response to Russian aggression against Ukraine. This package includes new targeted measures and maximizes the impact of existing sanctions by closing loopholes,” the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024 said in a statement on the social network X.

The new package of sanctions includes a ban on the transshipment of Russian LNG, as well as the responsibility of EU operators for violations of sanctions by subsidiaries and partners in third countries.
