The EU said the sanctions, targeting more Russian individuals, will come in on Monday but could be suspended if Russia withdraws troops from east Ukraine and observes a current truce.
The ceasefire, agreed in Belarus on Friday, appears to be largely holding.
Some 2,600 people have died since a pro-Russian rebellion began in eastern Ukraine in April.
The Russian foreign ministry said in a statement: “As for the new list of sanctions from the European Union, if they are passed, there will undoubtedly be a reaction from our side.”
The BBC reports that the fresh sanctions would add another 24 people to the list of people barred from entering the EU and whose assets have been frozen.
There were no reports of major fighting in the east overnight.
