The European Commission has made suggestions to EU ambassadors over what they would like to see in sanctions.
- Suggest banning Russian government owned companies, not just banks from borrowing in EU
- Banning syndicated EU loans to Russian government owned banks and companies
- Considering shortening minimum maturity of Russian state owned banks debt instruments that cannot be sold in in EU to 30 days from 90
- Proposed expanding export ban on goods that have both military and civilian use to all Russian importers instead of just military importers
- Extend ban on selling advanced energy tech
EU diplomats have also popped up saying;
- New sanctions could be coordinated with G7 countries
- Some countries proposed adding Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu to list of individuals, including travel ban and freeze of assets
- Some also proposed barring Russia from cultural, economic and sports events
