2 October 2023 at 15:15 New sanctions against Russia The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Monday that Norway has introduced new sanctions against President Putin and the Russian regime. – Norway stands together with Europe in the reaction to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, which violates international law. In solidarity with Ukraine, we have given up on all EU sanctions packages. The eleventh sanctions package aims to strengthen the existing sanctions and crack down on their circumvention, says Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt. The new sanctions are in line with the EU’s eleventh sanctions package. The government has listed 19 measures on its list of sanctions. – The sanctions are becoming increasingly comprehensive and are a strong and clear European reaction to Russia’s brutal war of aggression in Ukraine. The opportunities for conducting trade with Russia are becoming increasingly limited and entail a high risk, the foreign minister emphasizes.
