Background: EU countries approved the 10th package of sanctions against Russia late on Friday, 24 February, one year after the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in Ukraine.

It was revealed on Saturday that the 10th package of EU sanctions against Russia would include 121 individuals and legal entities.

Now, the sanctions package has to be approved by the European Council through the written procedure, and it will be put into effect after it is published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
