EU Agrees on Russia Sanctions in Key Show of Support for Ukraine.

The European Union (EU) member states have reached a tentative agreement on a 12th package of sanctions against Russia, demonstrating solidarity with Ukraine. The deal is awaiting clearance of final objections from Austria before becoming official. The sanctions package includes a ban on Russian diamonds, measures to enforce the price cap on Russian oil, and a ban on the export of machine tools and machinery parts used by Russia to make weapons targeting Ukraine. This agreement comes at a critical time for Ukraine, as it seeks to maintain military and financial aid to combat Russia's invasion. [Extracted from the article]
