European Council President Charles Michel

The sixth package of EU sanctions against Russia, which comprises an embargo on tanker deliveries of Russian oil to EU member-states postponed for six months, can be finally approved on June 1-2, President of the European Council Charles Michel said on Tuesday.

“I can confirm that the legal text [of the EU Council Regulation on sanctions – TASS] is already being edited. This is a matter of hours. We expect the legal text will be approved tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow,” Michel said.
