Permanent representatives of EU countries provisionally agreed on a new package of sanctions against Russia on November 11. The sanctions lists are proposed to include 145 individuals and legal entities involved in Russian aggression against Ukraine, as well as cyberattacks and hybrid activities. This was reported by an EU diplomat familiar with the results of the meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives (Coreper), writes "European Pravda".

The new sanctions lists must be finally approved by the EU Foreign Affairs Council. Its meeting will take place in Brussels on Monday, November 16.
According to the interlocutor of "European Pravda", 12 individuals and 101 legal entities are proposed to be added to the sanctions list for actions against the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Among the latter are 50 Russian banks.
Restrictions will also affect a number of companies assisting the activities of Russia's shadow fleet.
Another 30 individuals and one legal entity may be sanctioned under the regime related to Russia's hybrid activities. In addition, one legal entity is proposed to be included in the EU sanctions list for cyberattacks.
Earlier, on October 12, the European Union approved the largest expansion of personal sanctions against Russia: the new list included almost 1600 individuals and legal entities.
On September 22, the EU Council extended the restrictive measures against individuals responsible for undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine for another 36 months. At the same time, Russian oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman were excluded from the list.
