The EU has passed its latest package of sanctions on Russia, the bloc’s foreign policy chief announced.
"We just adopted our 19th sanctions package. It targets Russian banks, crypto exchanges, entities in India and China, among others," Kaja Kallas said on the US social media company X’s platform.
The package bans the import of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG), effective Jan. 1, 2027, for long-term contracts and within six months of the sanctions’ entry into force for short-term contracts.
It also removes the exemption for EU imports of oil and gas from major companies Rosneft and Gazprom Neft while sanctioning two Chinese refineries and an oil trader that are major buyers of Russian crude oil.
