EU Proposes New Sanctions Package Against Russia, Including Entry Ban

Ursula von der Leyen announced a new, 21st package of EU sanctions against Russia, which includes an entry ban for Russian individuals involved in the Ukraine conflict and targets Russian banks and cod. This move aims to further increase the cost of the war for Russia, with estimated losses from sanctions already reaching $1.5 trillion.

Why this matters

The proposed 21st sanctions package signifies the EU's continued and escalating efforts to pressure Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. By targeting key sectors like energy, finance, and potentially individuals involved in the conflict, these sanctions aim to further cripple Russia's war economy and limit its ability to sustain military operations. The inclusion of an entry ban for combatants also marks a new dimension in personal restrictions.
