CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to Cointelegraph, the European Union has announced sanctions against 9 individuals and 6 entities, accusing them of evading sanctions through cryptocurrency and spreading pro-Russian disinformation. The sanctioned targets include Russian influencer Simon Boykov and his affiliated exchange, as well as the A7 OOO company, which is suspected of manipulating Moldovan elections.

Investigations show that the relevant entities transferred funds through high-risk exchanges and cash exchange services, using the ruble stablecoin A7A5 for cross-border transactions. The EU stated that this move aims to cut off the funding chain for the spread of disinformation.[Original link]
