The European Union has announced a new sanctions package aimed at Russia, focusing on liquefied natural gas imports, financial institutions, and cryptocurrency exchanges. This initiative seeks to increase pressure on Moscow amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. The sanctions specifically target the importation of liquefied natural gas, which is a significant energy resource for the EU. Additionally, banks operating in Russia will face restrictions that could hinder their ability to engage in international transactions. Cryptocurrency exchanges will also be affected, limiting their operations and interactions with Russian entities. These measures reflect the EU’s commitment to holding Russia accountable for its actions.
