They could then be decided by the Council of Ministers. A decision in writing is also possible.
What kind of sanctions will be imposed was initially unclear. However, it is considered likely that people in particular will be targeted. This is indicated by a statement by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Council President Charles Michel. It states: “The Union will impose sanctions on those involved in this illegal activity.”
In particular, it is eagerly awaited whether Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin will also be included on the EU sanctions list. All assets of the persons, organizations and companies listed there will be frozen in the EU. In addition, listed persons are no longer allowed to enter the EU and no more business can be done with them.
