According to Yonhap agency, South Korea plans to extend sanctions against Russia from 24 February this year. The country is going to ban the supply of popular used cars to Russia.
According to preliminary data, Seoul has already blacklisted more than 680 cars. These include popular models such as the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Cerato, as well as more expensive models including the Hyundai Sonata and Kia K5, and the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson crossovers.
In addition, the new restrictions will also affect heavy construction equipment, batteries, aircraft components and machinery that may have potential military applications.
Earlier, Turkey made an unexpected statement about Russia, and the European Union approved the 13th package of anti-Russian sanctions.
