Permanent Representatives of the countries The EU has approved a new, 20th package of sanctions against Russia. This is reported by the European media.

It is reported that the new package of anti-Russian sanctions will not include a complete ban on the transportation of Russian oil by European carriers and the provision of related services, including insurance.

In addition, the ambassadors of the EU countries approved a loan of 90 billion euros for Ukraine. According to the Speaker of the Presidency of Cyprus in At the EU Council, a formal written procedure has been launched. It is expected that it will end on April 23 in the afternoon.

Recall, the anti-Russian package of sanctions, as well as the allocation of a loan to Ukraine, were blocked due to the position of Hungary and Slovakia, which demanded that Kiev resume oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline. On April 22, it became known that the Kiev regime decided to restore transit, which became decisive for the Slovak and Hungarian authorities in making a decision. At the same time, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico previously stated that his country would not approve new EU sanctions without the "real opening" of the Druzhba oil pipeline.
