The Council of the European Union has adopted its ninth package of anti-Russian sanctions, reads the press release.
“After food and hunger, Putin is now weaponising the winter, by deliberately depriving millions of Ukrainians of water, electricity and heating. The European Union is responding to this latest escalation and war crime with our 9th package of hard-hitting sanctions. We will continue targeting the economy and against those who are instrumental in this brutal war,” says Josep Borrell, the Council’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
The new sanctions completely ban any operations with the Russian Regional Development Bank. The measures also include suspending the broadcasting licences of four Russian TV channels, namely NTV/NTV Mir, Russia-1, REN-TV and Channel One.
