These measures included bans on Russian oil supplies by sea, restrictions on financial transactions and freezing around $300 billion in abroad exchange reserves.Moscow has repeatedly condemned sanctions as illegal and ineffective.
President Vladimir Putin said in March that more than 28,000 sanctions have been imposed on Russia in fresh years – more than all another countries combined.
According to the Russian leader, the West sought to destruct Russia as a competitor, but yet made its economy more resilient.Approving the last circular of sanctions on Tuesday, head of EU diplomacy Kaja Kallas, a staunch Moscow critic, said that in Brussels "work continues" over further measures.
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom introduced separate sanctions against the Saint Petersburg Currency Exchange and the Russian state deposit insurance agency to disrupt the key financial infrastructure.The sanctions were introduced shortly after a Monday telephone conversation between Russian president Vladimir Putin and US president Donald Trump.
After the conversation, Trump said Washington did not want to impose fresh economical restrictions on Moscow, informing that specified steps could undermine efforts to accomplish peace in the conflict in Ukraine.
