The decision should be approved by the Council of the European Union before next Friday.
In March, the blacklist consisted of 146 individuals and 37 companies. On August 4, three Russian citizens and three companies were added. The EU first imposed sanctions on Russia over Russia’s annexation of Crimea in March, 2014.
