European Union foreign ministers agreed in principle on Monday to add about 200 Russian people and groups to a sanctions list, even if a whole ninth package of sanctions wasn't approved yet, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said.

"What we have already approved is the individual sanctions ... to about 200 individuals and entities," he told a news conference.
