The European Union is proposing to ban oil imports from Russia and remove the country's biggest bank from the SWIFT international payments network as part of a sixth round of sanctions over the war in Ukraine.

The European Commission is presenting today its sixth package of sanctions, including:

Listing of high-ranking military officers
De-swifting major Russian banks
Banning state-owned broadcasters
Phasing out Russian oil

The EU wants Ukraine to win this war. That is why the European Commission is also proposing to start working on an ambitious recovery package for our Ukraine. It will pave the way for Ukraine’s future inside the European Union.
