A few days before the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the European Union (EU) countries hope to adopt a 13th set of sanctions against Moscow.
Highly symbolic, it should mainly target around a hundred individuals linked to Vladimir Putin’s regime. These individuals would be banned from entering Europe and their assets within the EU would be frozen. Additionally, 87 companies would be targeted, with Europeans prohibited from utilizing their services. The sanctions would also include a ban on exporting certain civilian components that Russia uses for drone manufacturing.
