In addition, the new restrictions prohibit transactions with Russian gold and expand the list of sanctioned goods.
At the same time, the European Union decided to remove from sanctions transactions with state-owned companies related to Russian agricultural products and oil transportation to third countries — due to the need to ensure food and energy security in the world.
- On July 21, the EU Council approved the seventh package of sanctions against the Russian Federation.
