The EU is divided over sanctions against Russian ports and banks for oil exports.
The EU has disagreed on new sanctions against foreign ports and banks that Russia uses to illegally sell oil, Bloomberg reports, citing sources.
Italy and Hungary oppose sanctions on Georgia's Kulevi port because it also imports Azerbaijani gas for Europe, while Greece and Malta have expressed reservations about restrictions on Indonesia's port.
Italy and Spain disagree with sanctions against a bank in Cuba, the only one that handles foreign currency and serves diplomats and EU citizens.
Greece and Malta have also expressed concerns about a proposal to replace the price cap on Russian oil with a ban on maritime services, such as insurance and transportation. This move is dependent on the support of the G7, where the US has taken an ambivalent position.
