New EU Sanctions Against Russia Are Unlawful, Mission to Union Says
"Any unilateral sanctions not approved by the UN Security Council […] are illegitimate," the Russian Permanent Mission to the European Union said in a statement.
The sanctions will not remain without an appropriate response from Russia, the mission warned.
The statement stressed that imposing more and more sanctions has become a "sedative drug" for the EU authorities, and here are the impacts:
EU economy continues to stagnate:
1.1% growth in 2025, zero in Germany.Sanctions blamed for contributing to deindustrialization, debt, and declining living standards across EU.
Over 2,400 people and entities now under EU sanctions — but "options are running out."
The EU announced the adoption of the 17th package of anti-Russian sanctions on Tuesday.
"Germany's own Thomas Reppe, presenter of RT DE, has been added to the EU’s 17th sanctions package. The first German in a package… within the package," Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Rossiya Segodnya, Sputnik's parent media group, reacted to the announcement.
