There is reportedly a split among EU members on how to proceed with sanctions; Nordic and Eastern European nations have pushed for more new sanctions, whereas Germany and the Netherlands want to focus on strengthening existing ones.
Officials say there is no formal proposal for a full package of new restrictions against Moscow, but discussions will weigh up which areas could be added.
