The $EU has just rolled out its 18th and strictest sanctions package against Russia. ๐ช๐บ๐ฅ
Estonian Foreign Minister Kaya Kallas confirmed the move, signaling Europeโs escalating response to ongoing aggression.
๐ป Key Sanction Highlights:
๐ข 105 Russian โshadow fleetโ ships hit with restrictions
๐ฆ Russian banks face limited access to global financing
๐ซ Nord Stream gas pipelines officially banned
๐ฐ Oil price cap slashed to $47.6 per barrel
๐ฃ Targeting Russian military industry & drone tech
๐ฆ Chinese banks that help Russia dodge sanctions also under pressure
๐ข๏ธ Rosneft Oil refinery in India now faces EU restrictions
๐ฌ โAggression has a price โ and itโs rising,โ said Kallas.
The EU is cracking down on both military and economic lifelines, including tech exports for drones. This includes pressure on third-party enablers, like Chinese financial institutions.
๐งญ The sanctions aim to choke military capabilities, disrupt key oil revenues, and shut down backdoor channels used to bypass restrictions.
๐ These moves mark a bold escalation, reinforcing that continued conflict will only increase the cost for Russia and its allies.
