EU Approves Tenth Russia Sanctions Package as Zelensky Highlights Target Areas
The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky spoke on his Twitter account about the European Union’s newly adopted tenth sanctions package against Russia. He outlined the focus of the measures, noting that they specifically target elements tied to the military industrial complex, the financial system, and media workers within Russia.
In his post, Zelensky called for strong steps against Rosatom and the Russian nuclear sector while urging greater pressure on both the military and banking sectors. His statement reflects Kyiv’s expectation that the new package will intensify economic and strategic pressure on the Russian state apparatus.
Earlier, on February 25, Josep Borrell, the chief of European diplomacy, announced that the European Union had approved the tenth sanctions package in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. The package imposes restrictions on 121 natural and legal persons and introduces significant new controls on imports and exports. Borrell also noted that Russian propaganda media and dual-use goods and technologies exported from the EU are barred from passing through Russia.
