What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The European Union adopted its largest sanctions package since 2022, formally listing nearly 1,600 businesses and individuals in Russia's defense industrial base. The package targets the majority of Russian shipbuilding activity, including shipyards and repair plants. Over half of the new listings are tied to ballistic missile production, while the core of the sanctions targets the missile program and electronic components like semiconductors.
