Earlier, Politico reported that the tenth package of sanctions was to include a ban on the import of Russian-made synthetic rubber. However, this caused "substantial disagreements" between the permanent representatives of the EU countries. While Poland supported the restriction, Italy and Germany were skeptical about the ban.

Due to disagreements, the EU countries failed to agree on the tenth package of sanctions against Russia.
