European Union countries did not reach agreement on Wednesday about new sanctions against Russia, and planned more talks to have the package ready for the one-year anniversary of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine on Friday, diplomats said.
The proposed package includes trade curbs worth more than 10 billion euros, according to the bloc's chief executive, including a ban on EU imports of Russian rubber. It would also bar more EU exports to Russia of tech equipment and spare parts Moscow might use on the battlefield.
