EU unveils 21st sanctions package targeting Russia
The European Commission unveiled its 21st sanctions package against Russia, proposing to target energy, financial services, crypto platforms, trade and fisheries and to expand banking restrictions to up to 90 additional Russian banks. The package freezes the current pricing mechanism for Russian energy imports through the end of 2026 and includes new export controls aimed at depriving Russia's defense industry of critical technologies. The plan also proposes an entry ban for former Russian combatants into the European Union, and if approved by EU member states it would be the largest single expansion of EU banking sanctions since the 2022 invasion, further squeezing Moscow's access to finance and energy revenues.
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...
Fitzgerald14I ,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 🇪🇺🤝🏼🇺🇦10The #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 Dantes7You 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 Amendment4When will the EU issue a sanctions package targeting the United States?
santa-guy.bsky.social2Thank you EU! Trump is too cowardly to go against his hero Putin!
Bill Ebrill2Keep them coming, harder and faster. Russia is a terrorist state.
Fella Galletti 🇮🇹🇪🇺🇺🇦🇬🇪 (also known as Harry1940610)2And something is brewing for #Aumina21, too. There is much activity in the water around and inside Ireland.
Susan NO DMs2Do the same to US
⚡ 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 🇺🇦14Why 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.
burningthirdrome3Wow... That really blows me away... and what about those working in the defence, oil and gas industries, the ‘media’ and so on?
🇪🇺❌ 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.social11Can'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 Kallas172We 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 Jasmine2Anf within the EU please as well … #raiffeisenbank #swarovsky #glock Just to name a view

Zorglub 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 🇺🇦2Everything, 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.
