Russia - Feb 3

The European Union and the U.S are considering to impose further sanctions against Russia in technology, energy and banking sectors. After the worst clashes happened in Ukraine last week, EU leaders decide to take on "further restrictive measures" on Russia. EU has decided at least to widen the list of people for visa bans and frozen asset, involving Latvian President Andris Berzins. Whether to impose sectoral sanction or private ownership restriction still remains in question. Source: Bloomberg
