“We hope that the discussion of new restrictions against Russia in the EU Council will begin during the Hungarian presidency,” the portal reports the words of a diplomatic source who preferred to remain anonymous. On November 9, the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, said that the European Union was preparing a 15th package of sanctions against Russia.
On June 24, the European Union adopted the 14th package of sanctions against Russia. New restrictions affected the transit of Russian liquefied natural gas through European ports. This sanctions package included 116 individuals and legal entities from Russia and limited the supply of dual-use technologies to 61 companies from the Russian Federation, China, the UAE and Turkey.
