UE blochează 32 de bănci rusești și vânează criptomonedele, în cel mai dur pachet de sancțiuni • Newsweek România

The EU has approved its 21st sanctions package against Russia, targeting 32 banks and cryptocurrency platforms to disrupt financial networks supporting the Kremlin's war efforts. This new strategy aims to isolate secondary banking nodes and destabilize regional credit systems, impacting the supply chains of the Russian military. The sanctions specifically target medium-sized regional banks used by oligarchs to bypass previous restrictions, effectively removing over half of Russia's internationally connected financial institutions from the global economy. Additionally, the regulations directly affect cryptocurrency firms, closing a loophole exploited for military technology purchases.
