The European Union is preparing to implement a 16th package of sanctions against Russia, scheduled for adoption on February 24, 2025. This date marks the third anniversary of the onset of the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The new sanctions aim to target specific sectors of the Russian economy that have either been inadequately addressed in previous sanctions or not covered at all. Additionally, the package will focus on individuals involved in 'hybrid warfare' against the EU and its allies, signaling a broader strategy to counter Russian influence.
