What happened

The European Union is considering adding 100 entries to its sanctions list, targeting infrastructure used for foreign information manipulation and interference by FIMI. During a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council, Kaja Kallas also warned that democratic backsliding in Georgia is deepening, noting that the 'foreign agents' law is stifling civil society. Kallas stated that the EU's current approach is not creating sufficient pressure for change in Georgia.
