EU Foreign Ministers Adopt New Russia Sanctions to Stop Evasion

EU foreign ministers adopted new punitive measures to crack down on sanctions evasion and stop Russia from obtaining Western technology for making weapons, according to German News Agency DPA.

A further 69 individuals and 47 entities linked to the Russian invasion of Ukraine have also been sanctioned with an asset freeze and in the case of persons, a travel ban to the European Union.
