“About February 24, you will witness a new major package of sanctions from both the United States and our partners in the G7 group,” RIA Novosti quotes her.

According to Nuland, the restrictions will also affect those areas in which US sanctions are already in place, including the military-industrial complex and the supply of high-tech equipment.

Poland has previously proposed new anti-Russian sanctions to the European Union, including restrictions in the field of nuclear energy.

European Commission Energy Director-General Ditte Juhl Jørgensen said the new EU sanctions package would not affect Russian uranium.
