EU expands sanctions list against Russia

The European Union has expanded its sanctions against Russia, adding 43 individuals and nearly 100 legal entities to the list.

Operativ Media reports, citing TASS.

The decision was adopted at a meeting of the EU Permanent Representatives Committee. The restrictions are unrelated to ongoing talks in Abu Dhabi and the 22nd sanctions package currently being prepared.

The sanctions are expected to be approved by EU foreign ministers on November 16.
