European Union member states backed a 10th package of sanctions on Russia including tighter export restrictions and technology controls, as well as requiring banks to report information on Russian Central Bank and other sanctioned assets they hold.
The bloc’s envoys signed off on the measures Friday, the Swedish presidency of the EU said in a tweet as it sought to rubber-stamp the latest restrictions one year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The EU also imposed measures against individuals and entities supporting the war, spreading propaganda or delivering drones used by Russia, the Swedish presidency said.
