In mid-April, The Financial Times wrote that the EU does not rule out blocking further attempts to expand the range of sanctions against Russia to new sectors of the economy by those EU members for whom these areas are vital.

New sanctions could slow down the imposition of sanctions against individuals, namely freezing their assets and restricting their travel to the EU.

According to the head of the EC Ursula von der Leyen, the 11th package of sanctions against Russia will mainly be aimed at preventing the circumvention of existing sanctions..

Vladimir Kravchenko tells in more detail about the fight against sanctions circumvention in the article “Clogging the back door tightly: how to prohibit Russia from circumventing sanctions”.
