BRUSSELS, July 22. /ITAR-TASS/. The European Union is ready to ban new military contracts with Russia, “refusing to break the existing ones,” a EU diplomatic source told ITAR-TASS on the sidelines of a meeting of EU foreign ministers that is underway in Brussels.

“It is planned to aim military embargo on the future contracts, thus the existing agreements can be finished at the discretion of the countries that concluded these contracts,” the source said.

He also confirmed reports that the European Union this week will expand the list of Russian citizens and companies that will be included in the new version of the “black list”.
