UE adoptă cea mai amplă extindere a sancțiunilor împotriva Rusiei | Aproape 1.600 de persoane și entități sunt vizate

The EU Foreign Ministers have approved extensive sanctions targeting nearly 1,600 individuals and entities linked to Russia's military-industrial complex. This marks the largest single expansion of EU sanctions since the onset of the war in Ukraine. The measures aim to hinder Russia's arms production by increasing the time and costs involved in manufacturing weapons. Over half of those sanctioned are connected to ballistic missile production. The sanctions also affect various strategic sectors of Russia's defense industry, including naval construction and aerospace. The decision reflects a unified stance among EU member states in support of Ukraine and in efforts to limit Russia's military capabilities.
