"A significant part of the package consists of anti-sanctions circumvention measures, sanctions on dual-purpose goods and a ban on Russian diamonds," he added. 

As Bloomberg reports, the proposals for the 12th package of EU sanctions include restrictions on trade in goods with a total value of about 5 billion euros. 

More than 100 individuals and four dozen legal entities can be present in the new package. The ban on the employment of Russians in the so-called "sensitive" sectors and the repatriation of Russian assets to the EU are being discussed. 

The content of the 12th package of EU sanctions may still change before the European Commission officially presents it to the member states. 

Reminder: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an address to the participants of the EU summit last week, called on them to increase the sanctions pressure on Russia.
