Europe is planning to cut deeper into the Russian economy with a new round of sanctions that includes a ban on coal imports.
The measures were announced Tuesday by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and still need the approval of all 27 EU member states.
If approved, the coal ban would be the first coordinated embargo by the European Union on the vast energy exports that power Russia's economy and generate hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue each year.
