Summary
EU foreign ministers approved a new sanctions package targeting 34 individuals and 47 entities, including shipping firms, drone makers, propagandists, and individuals linked to Alexei Navalny's persecution and death. The sanctions were announced by High Representative Kaja Kallas shortly after a Russian missile and drone attack damaged the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Kyiv. Kallas framed the response around war crimes, linking the cultural heritage attack to the broader pattern of Russian escalation against civilians.
