The European Union on Monday imposed new sanctions on 27 Russian individuals and entities. The measures relate to the forced transfer and assimilation of Ukrainian children, as well as to the exclusion of the anti-war Yabloko party from the elections to the Russian State Duma. SITA ↗
The sanctions were announced after the parliamentary elections in Russia. The European Union is using them to respond to the responsibility of officials who, according to its data, took part in actions against the political opposition and in the exclusion of the Yabloko party from the electoral process.

Another part of the measures concerns individuals and organizations involved in taking Ukrainian children away and their subsequent assimilation. Information from the European Union states that some children were also sent to a summer camp in North Korea. There, they were reportedly subjected to a pro-Russian program, re-education and militarization.
The new sanctions expand the European Union's individual measures against Russia. Their aim is to punish individuals and entities linked to violations of the rights of Ukrainian children and to the restriction of political competition in Russia. Le Figaro ↗
The EU is thus responding to two areas it describes as serious: the forced transfer of children from Ukraine and the actions of Russian authorities against opposition parties. Following the latest decision, the sanctions list has been expanded by a further 27 individuals and entities.
