Borrell in Ukraine: EU Working on 15th Package of Sanctions Against Russia

The European Union is working on the fifteenth package of sanctions against Russia, which will strengthen measures to counteract the circumvention of restrictions in order to isolate the Russian industry from imports.

This was stated by EU High Representative Josep Borrell at a joint press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha in Kyiv, Ukrinform reports.

‘We are working on the fifteenth package of sanctions against Russia. We have to strengthen measures against sanctions circumvention, because Russia cannot produce without imported spare parts, chips and other components. We must use sanctions to isolate Russia's industrial capabilities from (the possibility of) imports from other countries,’ he said.

Sybiha, for his part, stressed the need to increase pressure on Russia to impose tougher sanctions on countries that support Russia's war.

As The Gaze previously reported, EU High Representative Josep Borrell arrived in Kyiv for the fifth time on 9 November.
