The EU Agrees on a New Round of Sanctions against Russia

Lesson Brief BBC Russian
According to European Union representatives, the 28-member bloc has agreed on a new round of sanctions against Russia. The sanctions will primarily affect companies in the oil and gas sector and will prevent them from using European capital markets. Representatives say that the new sanctions will come into force within the next few days, unless there clear evidence that the ceasefire in Ukraine is being upheld by all sides and that Russia has stopped supporting the pro-Russian separatists. Russia has threatened to counter new Western sanctions with threats of closing its airspace to European airlines.
