- According to Bloomberg, Russian oil exports fell by 50% after the introduction of sanctions and price restrictions. This has already alarmed the governments of some countries, which are worried about the possible disruption of purchases of Russian oil.
- On December 7, the European Commission officially proposed the ninth package of sanctions against Russia. It included additional personal restrictions, as well as measures that should complicate the delivery of drones to Russia.
