EU hits Roman Abramovich with sanctions in new action against Russia
One of Russia's richest oligarchs joins the EU's sanctions list in its latest drive to sanction the country.
The latest sanctions follow three rounds of punitive measures which included freezing of assets of the Russian central bank, the exclusion from the SWIFT banking system of some Russian and Belarusian banks, and the freeze of assets of oligarchs and top politicians, including Russia's President Vladimir Putin and foreign minister Sergey Lavrov.
The investment ban applies to the whole energy sector, excluding nuclear energy, because some EU countries still rely on technology provided by Moscow for Russian reactors on their soil, the official said. Russia's exports of several raw minerals, including fossil fuels and palladium, remain possible.
