The 28 ambassadors formally agreed Monday on
implementing the package -- but with the caveat that it be linked to the
ceasefire and only introduced "in a few days," rather than immediately
as had been expected at first.
Amid confusion about what that meant in practice and
with some member states apparently preferring to wait and see rather
than introduce the sanctions straight away, the ambassadors met
Wednesday without result.
Diplomats say the sanctions will likely limit access to
financial markets by Russian oil companies such as Rosneft and Transneft
plus the petroleum unit of gas giant Gazprom.
They cover the same four areas as previous measures
adopted in July -- capital markets, defense, dual-use goods with both
military and civilian capabilities, and oil technology, they added.
