The European Union aims to impose a 20th sanctions package against Russia on Feb. 24, the day marking the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told reporters on Jan. 29.
"We aim to come out with this (sanctions package) on the 24th of February" Kallas said during a press conference.
Despite ongoing conversations among EU countries, Kallas said that an agreement on the sanctions package has not yet been finalized.
For the first time, the EU also imposed restrictions on crypto platforms and on banks in Russia and other countries that facilitate sanctions evasion.
President Volodymyr Zelensky previously said Kyiv will propose that the 20th sanctions package target "Russian legal entities and individuals that are still profiting from energy resources."
