The European Union has reached a political agreement on the imposition of new sanctions against Russia.
High Representative/Vice-President of the European Union Federica Mogherini said this during a press conference following the first day of the meeting of EU foreign ministers on Monday, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.
"I can confirm that there is political consensus on some further measures to be taken – personal, targeted sanctions. I believe the formal adoption of the legal acts will be finalized in the coming days. I would not elaborate more on that for obvious reasons but political consensus is already there," Mogherini noted, responding to journalists' question about the consensus among EU member states regarding the introduction of new sanctions against Russia in connection with its aggressive actions in the Azov Sea region.
