Euskaraz irakurri: EBk Errusiaren aurkako hamargarren zigor sorta adostu du Ukrainaren inbasioagatik

The European Union agreed on Friday “in extremis” the tenth package of sanctions against Russia, coinciding with the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine, which includes a ban on the export of technology for military use and measures against Iranian companies that supply drones to Moscow.

“Today, the EU has approved the tenth package of sanctions against Russia” for “help Ukraine win the war“, announced the Swedish presidency of the Council of the European Union on its official Twitter account.

The EU is “united with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people”, continued the Swedish EU presidency, which promised that the 27 would continue to support Kiev “for as long as it takes”.

Negotiations between the EU countries had stalled in recent hours due to the volume of the synthetic rubber quotas that the Twenty-seven will be able to import from Russia, since Poland wanted to lower them, although the agreement finally came after more than twenty-four hours.

The negotiated package “includes, for example, stricter restrictions on the export of technology and dual-use items,” targeted restricted measures against individuals and entities that support the war, spread propaganda, or deliver drones used by Russia in the war, and measures against Russian disinformation”, listed the Swedish presidency.

“Collectively, the EU member states have imposed the strongest and most far-reaching sanctions ever imposed to help Ukraine win the war,” he concluded.

Specifically, they will be penalized 47 electronic components that Russia can use in its weapons systems, such as drones, missiles and helicopters, in such a way that, taking into account the nine previous packages, all technological products found on the battlefield will have been prohibited, according to what the president of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, when proposing them.

Seven Iranian companies linked to the Revolutionary Guard that make the drones that Tehran is giving to Moscow to bomb Ukraine.

The new measures include a hundreds of Russian individuals and companiesincluding members of the Army.

All of them will have the goods and assets that they have in the EU frozen and they will be prohibited from entering community territory.

Sanctions, however, still have to be be formally approved before they can actually take effect.

Beyond this tenth package against Russia, the EU countries will start discussing a new round of sanctions against belarus for his support of the Kremlin in the war against Ukraine.
