  • EU High Representative Kaja Kallas announced a new sanctions package against Russia, targeting approximately 80 individuals and entities.
  • The sanctions aim to disrupt Russia's war economy by targeting propagandists, human rights violators, and companies linked to the defense industry.
  • Kallas stated that Western sanctions have already cost Moscow significantly, and this new package aims to further weaken its economic capacity.

The European Union is preparing to impose a new round of sanctions against Russia, with High Representative Kaja Kallas announcing that a "mini package" is slated for approval on June 15. This latest measure targets around 80 Russian propagandists, individuals accused of human rights violations, and companies connected to Russia's defense industry.

Kallas stated that the existing Western sanctions have already inflicted substantial financial damage on Moscow, estimating the cost to be between 1.2 and 1.5 trillion. The upcoming sanctions are intended to systematically dismantle the foundations of Russia's war economy, described by Kallas as "brick by brick."

"Vladimir Putin is losing money, people, and momentum," Kallas asserted, suggesting this is the reason behind Russia's intensified attacks on Ukrainian civilians. The announcement was made following an informal meeting of defense ministers in Cyprus.
