FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Russia on Friday condemned as unacceptable a fresh round of sanctions being prepared by the European Union against the Syrian regime.
“Our position concerning such sanctions is well known,” said foreign affairs ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich. “We judge them unacceptable from the point of view of international law.
Diplomats in Brussels had said earlier that the new sanctions would ban exports of luxury items and goods which can be used for internal repression.
“The sanctions are ready,” said an EU diplomat who asked not to be named. The timing for their adoption however “will depend on the situation on the ground.”
A decision could be made at talks in Luxembourg on Monday between foreign ministers from the 27 EU nations.
The EU a month ago tightened the noose at President Bashar al-Assad’s family, slapping a travel ban and asset freeze on his wife, mother and sister in the 13th round of EU sanctions in a year.
His immediate family were among 12 people and two oil companies added to an existing EU blacklist totalling 126 people and 41 firms or utilities.
The new sanctions would concern luxury goods and so-called dual-use goods which can be used for internal repression or for the manufacturing of equipment used for internal repression.
