Valdis Dombrovskis, Vice President of the European Commission, has confirmed that the EU started working on the next 14th sanctions package against Russia due to its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Dombrovskis predicted that the 14th EU sanctions package against Russia must be approved in the spring.
“It will likely contain a wide list of restrictive measures with a strong emphasis on countering evasion, for instance, in the maritime sector, since Russia keeps trying to violate the price cap on oil export,” he added.
He added that the Commission was studying ways of countering the evasion of sanctions using front companies of Western countries that operate outside Europe.
“We continue to put pressure on Russia and those who support it in the combat zone, wherever they are. We will continue prosecuting Putin’s friends. And we will continue prosecuting those who help Russia evade sanctions or replenish its military arsenal,” Dombrovskis stressed.
Background: On 23 February, the EU Council adopted the 13th sanctions package against Russia and those responsible for the continuation of the war against Ukraine, as well as against those who strongly support Russia’s military efforts.
