Iran PressEurope: The European Union has not yet found agreement on a sixth package of sanctions against Russia, its top diplomat Josep Borrell said after a meeting of the bloc's foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday.

He said foreign ministers had decided, however, to provide an additional 500 million euros for arms purchases in support of Kyiv, taking the total sum of money the EU has earmarked for that purpose to 2 billion euros.

The sanctions come as the West, despite all these measures, fears that the escalation of Russian sanctions on economic sectors, especially the oil and gas sector, will further destabilize Europe and the global energy markets. 219
