The countries of the European Union are planning to impose sanctions on 27 Russian citizens in the event of a hypothetical “invasion” of Russia into the territory of Ukraine. This is reported by the British The Financial Times, citing two informed persons.

It is noted that the EU diplomatic service proposed to impose sanctions against 27 Russians, while Poland called for 55 representatives of the Russian Federation to be included in the sanctions list.

According to , the preliminary sanctions list will be updated taking into account the circumstances.

Earlier, Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that the European Union, at the initiative of Italy, is considering the possibility of excluding the energy sector from new possible sanctions against Russia in the event of an escalation of the situation around Ukraine.

Since the autumn of last year, the Western media, as well as in Ukraine, have been claiming that Russia is allegedly preparing a “large-scale invasion” of Ukraine. In Moscow, such allegations have been repeatedly rejected.
