Representatives of the EU member states at a meeting in Brussels failed to reach an agreement on the 11th package of sanctions against Russia, writes Polskie Radio with reference to the Polish Ambassador to the EU Andrzej Sados.

Friday's meeting ended inconclusively, further discussion was postponed to next week.

According to Sados, the approval of the 11th package of sanctions requires the solution of a number of technically complex issues that require expert analysis..

The representative of Poland said that the new package would likely take into account Warsaw's proposal to expand sanctions on propagandists and judges who pass sentences in political trials, as well as to impose restrictions on Russian transport companies..

A separate paragraph will focus on personal sanctions against persons who took part in the abduction of Ukrainian children. Sados also expressed hope that some sanctions would be imposed against Belarus as well..

Poland also calls for a ban on imports of agri-food products from Russia to the EU.

The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who visited Kyiv on May 9, said that the 11th package of EU sanctions against Russia will mainly deal with the fight against sanctions avoidance..
