On June 3, the European Union announced a new set of sanctions on Russia targeting Russian oil producers and banks (Reuters). In the initial version of the press release issued by the EU Council, a ban on the provision of “cloud services” to Russia was included among the sanctions, but this ban was later deleted (Reuters, VOI).

This question will resolve using an official press release from the EU Council or an update to the list of sanctions adopted following Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine.
