The representative of the Secretary General noted that the principled position of the UN is that it is necessary to abandon sanctions that could harm civilians. “This is our position,” he concluded.
Earlier, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that the European Union (EU) had prepared sanctions for 160 Russian businessmen and parliamentarians. “We continue to tighten our sanctions network. We will add 160 people to the blacklist, including businessmen and members of the Russian Federation Council,” von der Leyen wrote. She added that the Belarusian banking sector would also fall under the sanctions.
