BRUSSELS, February 22. /TASS/. Disagreements about the tenth package of anti-Russian sanctions remained among European Union delegates as they were unable to agree on them for the second consecutive day, a diplomatic source in Brussels has told TASS.

However, the source said he was certain that the sanctions will be approved to come into force on February 24, as was earlier announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.

"The committee of permanent representatives has wrapped up its meeting. So far, some difficulties remain, but we still have Wednesday and Thursday to sort them out. All EU countries agree with the main point, which is that the tenth package should enter force on February 24," the source said. "It will send an important signal on the anniversary [of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine]."

According to information earlier made public by Borrell and von der Leyen, and published by European media, the tenth package of sanctions will include trade restrictions on dual-purpose technologies and goods, including 47 types of electronic components that can be used in weapons production. It will also blacklist some types of heavy equipment, including construction vehicles and spare parts for aircraft engines. The European Commission estimates this package of sanctions to be worth $11 billion.

Besides, the European Union is set to blacklist 62 individuals and 28 organizations, including three banks (Alfa-Bank, Tinkoff and Rosbank), as well as Russia's National Wealth Fund, two media holding firms (Patriot Media Group and Rossiya Segodnya), and Ingosstrakh Insurance Company. It also mentions a London-based firm, Pawell Shipping, which is accused of "illegal transportation of stolen Ukrainian grain."

The EU also intends to block the broadcasting of the Arab services of RT and Sputnik on its territory.

The blacklist of individuals is to include the Russian Commissioner for Human Rights Tatyana Moskalkova, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Moscow Region Vyacheslav Duhin and the Minister of Labour, Family and Social Protection of Bashkiria Lenara Ivanova for helping to organize evacuation of Ukrainian children from the liberated territories within the zone of the special military operation. In its draft document on sanctions, Brussels calls the evacuation of children from the war zone "the organization of mass abductions of Ukrainian children."

It will also include a number of high-ranking military officers and Yevgeny Primakov, the head of the Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States Affairs, Compatriots Living Abroad, and International Humanitarian Cooperation, commonly known as Rossotrudnichestvo. A number of Eastern European countries are still trying to secure sanctions against Rosatom and its CEO Alexey Likhachev, and this may be a source for the ongoing disagreements among EU members.

According to the EU External Action Service, the EU blacklist for Russia currently mentions 1,386 individuals and 171 companies.
