The preliminary deal covered sanctions targeting Russia's access to
European capital markets and its imports in the sectors of defense and
dual-use goods - those that can be applied to both civilian and military
purposes - and other sensitive technologies.
The ambassadors are scheduled to reconvene next Tuesday to review the proposals after they have been formulated as regulations by officials, EU spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic said.
She said EU member states had to decide whether the measures would need approval at a summit meeting of the bloc to go into effect.
In a news release, the European Union announced that the ambassadors had also slapped EU-wide asset freezes and travel bans on 15 more Russians and Ukrainians accused of working against the country's status as a sovereign territory.
The measures were to take effect immediately and would bring the number of people under EU sanction over Russia's actions in Ukraine to 87.
