EU: The European Council has announced a 6-month extension of its sanctions
targeting specific sectors of the Russian economy, up until 31 Jan 2021.
- The rolling over of sanctions follows an assessment of the implementation of
the Minsk agreements - agreed following the Ukraine crisis in 2014 - at the June
19 European Council summit, at which leaders agreed insufficient progress had
been made by Russia. 
- The sanctions are intended to limit access to EU primary and secondary capital
markets for some Russian banks, prohibit some forms of brokering/financial
assistance towards Russian financial institutions, and ban Russian access to new
oil and gas production/exploration equipment.
