Thus, on February 25, the EU approved sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

The EU Council also agreed on a further package of individual and economic measures, including Belarus, to respond to the Russian Federation’s unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine.
In addition to freezing the assets of the President and Foreign Minister of Russia, the European Union is imposing restrictive measures on members of the National Security Council of the Russian Federation who supported Russia’s recognition of the two non-governmental territories of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts as independent entities. Sanctions will also be extended to the rest of Russia’s State Duma deputies who have ratified the government’s decision to sign the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance between the Russian Federation and the two entities.
In addition, the European Union will also target those who contributed to Russia’s military aggression by Belarus.
