EU Imposes New Sanctions on Russia for Ukraine Conflict

European Union countries have agreed on a new package of sanctions against Russia for its war against Ukraine, which includes measures aimed at countering sanctions circumvention and individual listings. Details of the measures will be unveiled later this week when the sanctions are officially adopted by written procedure. This is the first time that plans have been announced to target trade via other countries, apart from sanctions against Iranians alleged to be supplying drones to Russia.
