The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, announced on February 25 that the European Union has enacted the 10th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation. This package places sanctions on 121 individuals and entities, expands the scope of import and export controls, and extends a ban on Russian media outlets. Borrell conveyed these developments in a concise message on his official social media channel, underscoring the EU’s ongoing effort to apply economic and information restrictions that target Moscow’s actions and influence. In summarizing the package, he emphasized that the new measures strengthen the Union’s ability to deter aggression and to hold accountable those who support or participate in activities that undermine regional security. The announcement arrived amid a broader trend of tightening diplomatic and economic pressure aimed at signaling a clear stance against unilateral violations of international norms and territorial sovereignty. The EU’s decision reflects a sustained approach that pairs sanctions with vigilance over emerging fronts in the conflict, including financial networks, logistical supply chains, and strategic media influence that shape public opinion across multiple markets.
