More EU sanctions on Russia an option, Borrell says

By Robin Emmott

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – More European Union sanctions on Russia are an option, the bloc’s top diplomat said on Monday when asked if the EU was ready to consider a Russian oil embargo in response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Sanctions are always on the table,” he told reporters as he arrived for a meeting with EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg. “Ministers will discuss which are the further steps,” he said.
