Highlights: Russian Foreign Ministry: New Anti-Russian Sanctions Will Cause More Harm to the EU. This is stated on the website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The leaders of the Eurasian Union agreed on the 12th round of sanctions against Russia. The decision was made after a meeting of the European Council of Ministers in Brussels. The meeting was called to discuss the latest round of Russian sanctions against the European Union. It was also to discuss how to respond to the new sanctions, which were imposed by the EU on Russia.

The European Union's new sanctions against Russia, like all previous ones, will do more harm to the EU itself. This was stated in the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This is stated on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

As noted in the ministry, the decision on a new package of restrictions was made dubiously from a legal point of view.

"The decision on another 'package' of unilateral restrictive measures against Russia, which, like all the previous ones, will cause greater harm to the European Union itself," the statement said.

Earlier, the Politico newspaper wrote that the leaders of the countries of the Eurasian Union agreed on the 12th package of sanctions against Russia, while Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer, who opposed the introduction of such restrictions, left the meeting room.
