No EU agreement yet on 21st Russian sanctions package, Kallas says

-

July 13 (Reuters) - ‌EU countries have yet to ​reach agreement on a broad 21st package ⁠of sanctions against Russia, but may decide on Monday to add 250 individuals ​and entities to their Russia sanctions list, ‌EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said.

"We are hoping that we get 250 listings ⁠agreed .. this is the biggest ⁠number of listings we have done so far," Kallas said before a meeting of EU foreign affairs ministers ‌in Brussels.

"When it comes to the 21st ⁠package, there are still ‌some open questions," she ​added.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys said EU countries had yet to reach ‌a decision on a proposed maritime ​services ban ⁠and tightening restrictions on Russian liquefied ‌natural gas.

"So I'm ⁠looking to see whether we are serious enough. We cannot put economic interests above ​security interests ... ‌that is a very dangerous trend," he ⁠told reporters.
