Last week, the EU permanent representatives agreed on a new package of sanctions. According to Bloomberg, citing preliminary documents, it imposes restrictions on 45 Russian oil tankers and several companies involved in oil transportation. The list also contains 50 individuals and 30 legal entities whose assets are planned to be frozen and banned from entering the EU. At the same time, the document extends the permit for the export of Russian oil products from Slovakia to the Czech Republic until the beginning of June 2025.
