The EU intends to significantly expand sanctions against Russia ​in the coming months.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, that EU ‌foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told a German newspaper.

"EU sanctions have already ​cost Russia dearly, depriving ​Russia's war machine of over €1 trillion ($1.16 ⁠trillion) and for autumn I ​am putting forward the most ​far-reaching sanctions listings since the start of the war," she told German daily ​newspaper Die Welt.

"Once adopted, they ​would immediately raise the total number of ‌sanctioned ⁠Russian entities by a third. The pressure must keep growing until Moscow ends its war."

Kallas did ​not elaborate ​further on ⁠timing or details of the new sanctions package.
