EU unveils 21st sanctions package targeting Russia
The EU is preparing its 21st sanctions package, targeting up to 90 Russian banks and 12 crypto platforms to curb evasion of Western restrictions. This move will bring the total number of listed banks to over 100. www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Fitzgerald28I ,as an outsider, cannot understand how more than four years into this war there are still loopholes and banks that are not yet sanctioned what’s going on ?shouldn’t this all have been done the first year they were terrorizing Ukraine
Ole Christensen 🇪🇺🤝🏼🇺🇦18The #EU also need to target the ship repair company Fayard in Denmark. They are circumventing the sanctions as the the only remaining shipyard in Europe who still works repairing and servicing LNG carriers for Russia. They must be stopped immediately!
Lucy Dantes11You know, the EU isn’t perfect but it tries. It always tries to do the right thing. And for that and many other reasons, I love it. I am so thankful to be living within it.
RevBug is mathing: (8+6)+(4+7)=25th Amendment6When will the EU issue a sanctions package targeting the United States?
santa-guy.bsky.social3Thank you EU! Trump is too cowardly to go against his hero Putin!
Bill Ebrill3Keep them coming, harder and faster. Russia is a terrorist state.
John-El3Meanwhile in America we have an entire party devoted to helping Russia and Israel
Fella Galletti 🇮🇹🇪🇺🇺🇦🇬🇪 (also known as Harry1940610)3And something is brewing for #Aumina21, too. There is much activity in the water around and inside Ireland.
Mathias Bavay3And the 21st round of sanctions is so great that we'll start asap working on the 22nd... If only European leaders could learn to be decisive, after 4 years of war!
Richard Ten Cate3Pfft. How about one big comprehensive sanction - No Russians in or out of Russia, none. All NATO countries confiscate all properties and bank accounts, etc. No overflight of any NATO countries. All Russian embassies closed and dips expelled. Want the glory days of the Iron Curtain. You got it.
Susan NO DMs3Do the same to US
Marilyn Difficult Shepherd2Someone should sanction the EU for endorsing and supporting genocide
Colleen2Hope the EU does the same to Israel.
OldGuy752what about the Israeli and trumpf regime war criminals ... ? 🤔
Iacovos2Europe sanctions Russia while Israel sings at Eurovision. There's hypocrisy for you
Mike Traynor, a know-It-all2Von Der Leyen has 'balls' that Trumpolini lacks.
AmourAnimal2I hate that ZioKKKunt, Vonderleyen. All the smoke for Russia, none for Israel.
Gar_eth2Please do the same to Israel
⚡ BREAKING: EU proposes first-ever entry ban on anyone who has served in the Russian military since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Ursula von der Leyen says.
Alina Pereverzieva 🇺🇦17Why is this only for Russian soldiers? Their wives and mothers are spending that money in the EU later. In 2025, Russians received more than 620,000 Schengen visas. Top issuers: France 180,000, Italy 160,000, Spain 100,000.
Samuel Spade5It's not just ruSSian soldiers who are a security risk. There are all those ruSSians who work dirextly or indirectly for RIS too. It's better to play it smart and ban ALL ruSSians....
Marco Polo4FFS! Not just soldiers, all Russians! We don’t need them in Europe, any of them.
burningthirdrome4Wow... That really blows me away... and what about those working in the defence, oil and gas industries, the ‘media’ and so on?
FergusthePug 🇨🇦 🔔🇺🇦2Ban all ruZZians. Do it.
WeirdSciX2It should have happened in 2022
During the presentation of the 21st sanctions package against the Russian Federation, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed banning Russian military personnel who participated in the war against Ukraine from entering the EU.
Alpha Fella #NAFO34Why is it not done yet ?
Ser ParziFella17Same story with each package.: I read it and think „What that ain’t done yet?“
Dave13It should be more restrictive than that. Find the oligarch enablers that have property abroad and seize their assets. They should not be allowed to travel and live freely.
Dr.Meronym the 6th, MD, PhD, and others unverifiable titles9Banning war criminals from entering civil society seems like a very reasonable thing to do. I hope its done sooner than later and eventually extend to all russians.
FENRIS4"Proposing" something has a 'no brainer since 2014' stamp on it. Ouch.
greensmiff.bsky.social3Here's an idea. Ban ruSSians. All of them.
Agreiz2Should be every russian. But at the very minimum, in addition to military personnel, it should also include people involved in russia's propaganda. Such as Xenia Fedorova.
Patricia 🇺🇦🇨🇦⚜️2It would be a good start from banning all russians to the EU.
nunoanytime.bsky.social2Do it already! It should have been done even before the invasion
The European Commission proposed banning entry to the EU for Russians who fought in Ukraine as part of its 21st sanctions package. The plan also targets Russia’s oil revenues, shadow fleet, LNG tankers, banks, crypto platforms, ports, refineries and military-linked exports. #EU
guido mescalito27Why the fuck are ruzzians who fought in Ukraine allowed in the EU now?! What the fuck! Ban the cunts NOW!
That isn't already a thing?! That should have been in package 1 ffs!
bate Vladi10We should extended it to anyone who has any link to military, invasion, war economy etc.
Dr.Strange9The only surprise is that they haven’t done this already a long time ago
TooMuchScreenTime6Like I said on another thread, I fail to understand why 4 years on, there is anything left to sanction. They should have been completely cut off at least 3 years ago.
just-1-human.bsky.social4If the EU insists that Russians should be allowed to visit at all, why not tack on a "War in Ukraine" fee for every visit? Have Russians who want to experience "Western freedoms" pay for the damage their country causes Ukraine for wanting exactly that. Freedoms.
Keev41. How you recognize them? 2. why is it not implemented already? 3. stop talking and start acting
Gipper’s Gravespin3This is excellent, we absolutely don’t need them around These people are genocidal killing machines Let them go back to their hometowns in Russia and wreak havoc there
alfrib25.bsky.social3The question is, why were they entering, if Russia itself claims it is fighting against NATO and the EU, why were they entitled to visas?
Lisovyk3If they enter the EU and are later found to have been in the russian military, the terrorists should be handed over to Ukraine to increase the prisoner swap fund.
🇺🇦 Toshiba Fella2BAN ALL SHITNYANS FU🖕🖕ING LONG OVERDUE
Zorglub 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 🇺🇦2Don't propose. It takes time to loop. Ban immediately _ A L L _ ruzzians whatever they are.
Jessica D. M. 🇺🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇵🇦 🇬🇱 🪃 🟧2All this shows how the USA has lost its world leader status. Was a time the USA would put sanctions on Country's or lift them, the EU etc would follow. Now Trump is ignored
🇪🇺❌ EU to ban entry to former participants in the war against Ukraine on the Russian side in the 21st package of sanctions, — Ursula von der Leyen. The lists of persons involved in the aggression will be updated and synchronized between migration services.
wolfie1234.bsky.social12Can't believe it's taken them so long
Republicans Are Traitors7The EU should ban every Russian citizen from entering to prevent sabotage and other attacks.
Klaus4Ban every.fucking.russian for at least 100 years, what a fucking joke
Per Damkier4A bare minimum… Also: not a SINGLE russian citizen should be allowed participation in ANY sporting event within the EU (or elsewhere, obviously). How is this hard?
Slavko Oršolić 🇪🇺3As if those men from the muddy villages will ever want or be able to travel abroad. EU needs to block entry of middle and upper class inhabitants of Moscow and St. Petersburg. They support (or ignore) the war and need to start feeling the consequences.
Warface2Looks like the duma officials and propagandist aren't getting their villas back.
Matti J.2Ban the tourist visas, as well. Completely, for good.
The 21st sanctions package includes a temporary freeze of the Russian oil price cap and designations of institutions used by Moscow to generate revenues and circumvent EU sanctions. It will target banks, weapons manufacturers, oil traders, refineries, and crypto operators in third countries.
Kaja Kallas220We are intensifying our sanctions efforts against individuals and entities that enable Russia’s war. As part of this package, my services are putting forward the largest set of listings in over two years, with over 170 proposals, notably on the financial sector, energy and drones’ production.
June Jasmine3Anf within the EU please as well … #raiffeisenbank #swarovsky #glock Just to name a view
⚡️ EU unveils 21st Russia sanctions package, proposes entry ban for Russian soldiers. The package will also include a freeze on the current pricing mechanism for Russia energy imports until the end of 2026.
Zorglub 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 🇺🇦7Everything, which name begins bu "ru", should be banned at first. To be more explicit: everybody, soldier, diplomat, tourist, worker as well as animals in addition to everything else: solid, liquid or gaseous, coming from or transiting by this part of the world must be sanctioned. Full stop.
jagerbeast.bsky.social6They are just now proposing entry bans!?!?!?? Jesus fucking christ the eu is worthless. Next youll tell me they still let rich russians go to school/live in europe
IS HE DEAD YET? ..Dave hater of racism , ignorance and hypocrisy4sorry but this sounds really weak stop importing EVERYTHING from Russia NOW
Aes 🌱2But Netanyahu can still fly over France with an international warrant. Israeli genocidal soldiers can still come back to France. I approve the sanctions against Russia but it should be on par with what Israel is also doing.
1. RU shadow fleet infrastructure generates $100B a year & involves over 30 countries. When will this be addressed in a way it deserves to be addressed? 2. Strait of Hormuz closure leads to increased purchases from Russia. What is being done about that aside from politically correct statements?
Olga Nesterova51Why are RU influencers actively unpacking 40K Hermes bags on Instagram? These are often men with female appearance who record content about Russia not being hateful, even though they’d be executed for looking the way they do. These all are part state propaganda network. EU should address that
Putin, the Funking Barsteward2Probably the biggest single act that would severely curtail their prime income source. It's almost like the EU do not want to punish Russia that hard......
