EU widens Russia sanctions with 80 new targets to squeeze war economy
The EU plans to add about 80 designations to its sanctions on Russia, targeting the military-industrial complex, human rights violators, and propagandists, as part of a broader regime now totaling roughly $1.2–1.5 trillion. The talks also cover a 6.6‑billion-euro fund to reimburse arms deliveries and finance joint defense procurements, with Hungary dropping its opposition, while officials push for stronger pressure as Moscow escalates attacks.
