The EU is preparing a new package of sanctions against russia on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine

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.

The package is intended to send a "clear message" 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 on people and companies among 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 it would be difficult to trace and prove people's involvement in the so-called hybrid russian attacks. Therefore, it has not yet been clearly decided whether sanctions for espionage for russia and disinformation will be imposed on February 24, 2025.
