EU states look at halting EIB, EBRD funding for Russia - officials

BRUSSELS/LONDON (Reuters) - European Union governments have discussed halting or restricting funding for new projects in Russia through two multilateral lenders as they seek to raise pressure on Moscow to support a peace plan for Ukraine, officials said on Thursday.

Officials have looked into stopping lending for Russian projects through the EU's bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB), and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), an EU diplomat and a German government source said.
