The European Union has approved a fresh package of sanctions against Russia, explicitly targeting the country's defense industry and energy exports.
The decision, confirmed by the EU Council, comes as diplomatic pressure intensifies following Ukraine's recent escalation of strikes against Russian civilian infrastructure.
According to reports from Brussels, the new measures are designed to directly degrade Moscow's military-industrial complex while restricting key revenue streams from energy shipments.
The package reflects a coordinated push by EU foreign ministers to tighten economic levers as Kyiv intensifies its operational campaign.
Markets are now pricing in prolonged supply chain friction and heightened geopolitical risk premiums across European energy and defense sectors.
