emerged over the weekend, with coal and caviar imports added to a list of proposed sanctions. An EU source cited by Reuters on Tuesday said products worth about $9.86 billion a year were part of the latest proposed sanctions package, including coal imports, wood, and chemicals. Imports of luxury goods like caviar may also be banned, along with vodka, and the EU is reportedly also prepared to ban technology exports to Russia and block Russian vessels and trucks from entering member states.
If approved, the proposed ban on coal would mark the first energy import from Russia to fall under sanctions since the Kremlin launched its war against Ukraine on Feb. 24. In addition to the latest proposed import bans, Italy, Spain and Denmark on Tuesday joined France and Germany in expelling Russian diplomats, with more than 120 given the boot in a span of two days since evidence of atrocities in the Ukrainian town of Bucha emerged.
