New measures/ EU prepares 17th package of sanctions against Russia

The European Union is preparing its 17th package of sanctions against Russia amid Moscow's demands for the lifting of some Western restrictions as part of the ceasefire conditions.

The news is reported by several foreign media outlets, following conversations with 4 EU diplomats who asked to remain anonymous.

After two days of talks in Saudi Arabia, Washington agreed on March 25 to help facilitate Russian exports of food and fertilizer by reducing maritime security costs and increasing access to global ports and payment systems. US President Donald Trump later said Washington was looking at lifting some sanctions on Russia to secure the Black Sea ceasefire.

Meanwhile, work on a new round of EU sanctions against Russia has begun and is at a very early stage, one of the foreign sources said. The European Commission is expected to present its proposals in early summer, another diplomat told the media.

Commenting on the timeline, one of the diplomats said it was highly speculative at this point, adding that the bloc would watch how ceasefire talks between the US, Ukraine and Russia unfold./CNA
