RUSSIA HITS BACK! MOSCOW RETALIATES AGAINST EU’S 17TH & 18TH SANCTIONS PACKAGES 🔥
Sanctions vs. Sanctions: The Global Tension Escalates
The EU’s 17th and 18th sanctions packages against Russia (imposed on May 20 and July 18) are now met with Moscow's sharp counterstrike.
🚫 The Russian Foreign Ministry has officially banned entry to a new list of EU officials, targeting: • Law enforcement and military advisors
• Supporters of Ukraine’s armed assistance
• Those advocating for sanctions, asset seizures, or a special tribunal
• Individuals involved in Baltic Sea blockades against Russian cargo
Russia calls the EU’s sanctions "illegitimate" — and this latest blacklist targets anyone perceived to “undermine Russia’s territorial integrity.”
💥 On the EU side, the 18th package was described as one of the most powerful yet by EU diplomat Kaja Kallas. It included: • 22 Russian banks
• 4 firms tied to the Russian Direct Investment Fund
• 26 military-industrial entities
🔄 Now, the EU is already gearing up for Round 19.
🧭 What It Means for Markets?
• More instability = more demand for decentralized systems
• Traders watch for volatility in energy markets and traditional finance
• Crypto remains the hedge in times of geopolitical friction
📌 In a world of sanctions and power plays, crypto stays borderless.
