What's the EU's latest plan to sanction Russia? April 6

Calls in the West for new measures to damage the Russian economy have intensified following allegations of war crimes in Ukraine. Moscow denies that its forces have committed atrocities, Qazet.az reports.

Yesterday, European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen set out a list of proposals:

  1. A ban on EU nations importing Russian coal worth €4 billion a year, and a full ban on four top Russian banks
  2. A ban on Russian ships entering EU ports and on Russian road transport operators
  3. A restriction on Russian companies competing for contracts across the EU
