EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrell convenes an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers. During it, they should agree on a “common line” according to Putin's statement.
Borrel voiced how a common position can be formulated. He stressed that the way will not be able to intimidate the EU.
Sanctions will also be discussed
The diplomat assured that support for Ukraine would continue. In addition, new anti-Russian sanctions are also likely to become “the subject of discussion”.
We have not been intimidated, we will continue our full support for Ukrainian sovereignty and democracy and will work towards to stop this war,” Borrell stressed.
He added that the EU continued to warn that in the event of “referendums” there would be new sanctions in the occupied territories.
Sanctions may affect Russian oil
By the way, Politico also wrote that the European Commission will begin consultations with representatives of EU countries on a future package of sanctions within a few days.
Diplomats will allegedly discuss limiting prices for Russian oil. The US is pressuring the EU to make progress on price caps before the EU ban on Russian oil imports goes into effect in December, according to media reports.
Also, lists of individuals under sanctions and import bans may be considered Russian diamonds and other luxury goods.
