The EU countries intend to discuss the 11th package of anti-Russian sanctions after the Catholic Easter, which will be held on April 9. it is reported by Politico with reference to three European diplomats. Other details are not given.

The HEAD of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said earlier that the 11th package of sanctions will be aimed at combating circumvention of existing restrictions. She also did not name the timing of the introduction of a new package of sanctions.

The European Union has already imposed ten packages of sanctions against Russia. The last one was agreed on 25 February. Restrictions were imposed against 96 organizations, the Arabic service of RT and radio Sputnik were banned from broadcasting in the EU, and the lists of goods prohibited for EXPORT from Russia were expanded, including bitumen and rubber. Blocking sanctions affected Tinkoff Bank, Rosbank, the National Wealth Fund and other organizations.

At a meeting in early March, the head of the European Commission and US President Joe Biden agreed to "aggressively" prevent the circumvention of sanctions against Russia. In particular, the US and the EU decided that they would influence third countries so that they would not help Moscow in this.

After the start of the military operation in Ukraine , many countries, in particular the member states of the European Union, the United States, Japan and others, imposed sanctions against Russia. The restrictions affected the banking and high-tech sectors, the export of Russian products, in particular energy resources, and the import of high-tech products. In addition, many Western countries have announced the freezing of Russian assets on their territory.

Commenting on the imposition of sanctions, President Vladimir Putin said in February that "the Russian economy and governance system turned out to be much stronger than the West believed," and the restrictions ultimately had a negative impact on those countries that imposed them. The day before, he also said that the sanctions against Russia will remain for a long time. “We all understand that sanctions, of course, are for a long time, therefore, along with priority measures to replace imported technologies and products, medium and long-term transformations are needed here, aimed at the strategic goals of the country’s sovereign development,” the head of state said.
