EU foreign ministers have adopted the 16th package of sanctions against Russia over its aggression against Ukraine.

According to Ukrinform, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas wrote about this on the social network X.

“EU delivers: Foreign Ministers just approved the 16th package of sanctions against Russia. It hits everything from shadow fleet ships to gaming controllers used to control drones. We now have the most extensive sanctions ever, weakening Russia’s war effort,” Kaja Kallas wrote.

As reported, the EU Foreign Affairs Council is taking place in Brussels today, and the first issue on the agenda will be the situation in Ukraine. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha will take part in the discussion of this topic via teleconference.
