Politico: The EU will not yet include a ban on aluminum imports in sanctions against Russia. Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland are in favor of imposing sanctions on Russian aluminum.

The EU is unlikely to decide on a complete ban on aluminium imports from Russia, since there is a high probability that the association “will face opposition from industrial countries such as Italy, which resist measures that could lead to higher prices” It is clarified that the EU still imports 9% of Russian aluminium.
