The diplomat named the sectors of the economy that the new package of sanctions against Russia, approved on June 20, covers. It is aimed at: the military-industrial defense complex; financial services; the energy sector; circumvention of sanctions; war crimes, in particular those involved in the deportation of Ukrainian children.

"These sanctions are aimed at making it harder for the Putin government to wage a war of aggression," the official wrote.

Reuters, citing diplomatic sources, also reported that the 14th package of sanctions provides for a ban on the re-export of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) in EU waters. At the same time, the sanctions do not restrict imports, as the 2022 bloc did in relation to Russian offshore oil.

In total, 47 new legal entities and 69 individuals were added to the EU sanctions list, bringing their total number to 2,200.
