The EU is preparing a new package of sanctions against Russia
The European Union is preparing the 16th package of sanctions against Russia. It is expected to be adopted on the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Welt.
The publication's sources in diplomatic circles note that the package will be intended as a “clear signal” to Russia. It should include “measures against specific sectors of the Russian economy that have not yet been covered or have been covered insufficiently.”
According to Welt, the EU plans to impose sanctions against people and companies among the Russian propagandists who are responsible for undermining Ukraine's territorial integrity.
The European Commission also wants to impose sanctions against individuals who spied for Russia and participated in disinformation campaigns, particularly in Germany.
Brussels said that it would be difficult to trace and prove people's involvement in the so-called hybrid Russian attacks. Therefore, it is not yet clear whether sanctions for espionage and disinformation will be imposed on Russia on February 24, 2025.
