The 18th package of European Union sanctions against Russia, approved back on 18 July, will come into force by the end of the current week.
The 18th EU sanctions package against Russia will come into effect by the end of this week, she stressed.
The 18th sanctions package will enter into force within a couple of days, maybe towards the end of the week if I’m not mistaken.
She added that the European Commission is “fully focused and completely implementing the various sanction packages that we have adopted so far”.
“Sanctions is something that you constantly need to update to work on because there is a sanction circumvention. So we need to find new ways to implement the sanctions that we have adopted and it’s part of the natural process,” the spokesperson explained.
Podestà also stated that the Commission is “continuing to work on future sanctions to possibly put even more pressure on Russia”.
