(Worthy News) – European Union leaders have agreed to impose sanctions against Russia that they say will have “massive and severe consequences” in response to President Vladimir Putin’s “barbaric” invasion of Ukraine.
The punitive measures target Russia’s financial, energy, and transport sectors and add restrictions on exports and financing. They also add more Russian individuals to a previously announced sanctions list.
