EU sanctions nearly 1,600 Russian people and firms linked to drone and missile parts
More than half of the new listings target the ballistic missile supply chain, and EU officials say the package aims to raise costs for Russia's war industry.
- On Monday, the European Union imposed sanctions on nearly 1,600 Russian individuals and companies linked to the arms industry, while also targeting 77 people accused of organizing 'sham elections' in occupied Ukrainian territories.
- EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas stated this represents the largest expansion since Russia's invasion, with over half specifically targeting the ballistic missile production chain to make weapons 'harder, slower and more expensive' to manufacture.
- The sanctioned entities represent the 'core' of Moscow's military industry, generating at least 20 billion euros in annual turnover and employing more than 250,000 people, according to EU statements.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the package as the 'right and necessary signal,' while German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called it an 'unprecedented sanction blow' to President Vladimir Putin's war.
- Disputing US President Donald Trump's claim of an 'energy ceasefire,' Zelenskyy cited ongoing Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, noting Russia attacked six facilities and wounded 33 people just that day.
