Media: EU will discuss the 11th package of sanctions against Russia after Catholic Easter

The European Union will start discussing a new, eleventh, package of anti-Russian sanctions immediately after the celebration of Catholic Easter, which will take place this weekend.

According to the newspaper Politico with reference to three European diplomats, a new round of discussions on this topic will be held by the European Commission and the ambassadors of the EU countries.

Earlier, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the essence of new sanctions against the Russian Federation. According to her, these restrictions will be aimed at counteracting various methods of circumventing existing bans.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said this week that sanctions against Russia would be in place for a long time to come. In this regard, he called for the development of long-term measures for the independent development of the country.
