According to journalists, the European Union seeks to prepare the 13th package of events for the second anniversary of the full-scale war. The offer will be focused on goods that the Russian Federation can use on the battlefield. The European Commission will start unofficial meetings at a high level with the EU Member States on Saturday regarding the details of the new set of sanctions against Russia. About it reports Reuters.

According to journalists, the European Union seeks to prepare the 13th package of events for the second anniversary of the full-scale war. It is reported that these discussions are the last step before the commission will officially present a new package to discuss and vote in EU countries in the Council. The proposal is expected to be focused on closing more loopholes to bypass previous sanctions. This is especially true of goods that can be used on the battlefield.

In addition, European officials want to focus on a number of new lists of Russian individuals and legal entities. As one of the sources told reporters, some new import bans are possible. For example, Poland and the Baltic countries are urged to impose a ban on importing Russian aluminum and liquefied natural gas.

Journalists noted that in connection with the EU elections, which are approaching in June, the block makes every effort to provide more funding for Ukraine with a potential package of 50 billion euros, military assistance, as well as the use of income from frozen assets of the Russian Central the bank. Earlier it was reported that the Russian media continue to work in the EU. According to journalists, in almost 2 years of the war, some Kremlin resources are still unlocked.
