The European Union has agreed on a new round of sanctions against Russia, targeting the country’s energy, banking, and technology sectors in response to its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
The 15th sanctions package includes tighter restrictions on oil exports, import bans on key Russian goods, and measures against individuals supporting Moscow’s war effort.
EU leaders said the new sanctions aim to further weaken Russia’s ability to fund its military operations. Moscow called the move “hostile” and vowed retaliatory measures.
Analysts say these sanctions will have significant implications for global energy markets and EU member states dependent on Russian imports.
