The European Union wants to announce, for the two years since the outbreak of war in Ukraine on February 24, a 13th package of sanctions against Russia. Sanctions should concern individuals and organizations. The Twenty-Seven had already announced sanctions, particularly on Russian diamonds, in December. The head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell "is very keen on the idea that we are going to mark the second anniversary of the aggression (of Russia against Ukraine) with a package of Sanctions targeting mainly individuals and entities," he declared.
