ČRo | New sanctions package includes entities outside of Russia
The new thirteenth package of sanctions against Russia was approved today by representatives of the EU. The sanction list has been expanded by another 200 individuals, companies, and institutions. These include entities outside of Russia that are involved in bypassing measures preventing the purchase of military technologies by Moscow. An expert commentary for the Radiožurnál program was provided by EUROPEUM's deputy director Viktor Daněk.

"In total, there are already 2000 names on the list - individuals, companies and institutions. Primarily, these are organizations and Russian citizens, including a large number of high-ranking government officials and their close associates, as well as oligarchs and their families, military representatives, etc. From my perspective, the significant change now is that for the first time, the EU is also targeting entities outside of Russia, in China, Turkey, or North Korea, because it is no secret that Russia is also trying to circumvent these sanctions through these countries."
