Firms from the UAE and Turkey were also on the list.
The EU is preparing sanctions against Chinese companies that supply Russia with components for drones and chemicals for the army. The decision is expected on June 15.
It is reported by Politico.
Who is planned to be put on the sanctions list
The EU External Action Service proposes to put four Chinese companies on the sanctions list. According to Politico, they:
serve Russia's "shadow navy";
supply chemicals to the Russian army;
supply components for the production of attack drones.
Besides the Chinese firms, the sanctions could affect five companies from the UAE, three from Turkey and one from Azerbaijan. All of them, according to the document, contribute to Russian shipping and energy sales. The list may also include Lukoil subsidiaries and dozens of individuals and legal entities.
When and how it will happen
The decision is planned to be taken on June 15 at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg - in the format of a "mini-package". In parallel, a larger 21st sanctions package is being prepared, which will cover broader sectoral measures and is expected in the summer.
Any EU sanctions require the unanimous support of all 27 member states.
What else is being discussed in the 21st package
The key proposals include freezing the price ceiling on Russian oil, which will otherwise automatically rise in July. The Nord-Baltia group is also pushing for comprehensive sanctions against Lukoil, Gazprom, Novatek and Rosneft, as well as the termination of all contracts with Russia's nuclear industry.
New sanctions against Chinese companies will exacerbate already tense relations between Brussels and Beijing. Despite the restrictions, Russia still receives 90% of critical technology through China, and the EU has so far hesitated to increase pressure on Beijing over fears of repercussions.
In parallel, China has threatened the EU with mirror sanctions over the "Made in Europe" law, deeming it discriminatory. Against this background, Beijing is accelerating the development of the Trans-Caspian route to Europe bypassing Russia, Moscow may lose billions in transit revenues.
