The European Commission has unveiled a new package of sanctions aimed at Russia, which includes a proposed travel ban for individuals serving in the Russian military. This announcement was made during the presentation of the 21st sanctions package by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Von der Leyen stated, “For the first time, we are proposing to prohibit entry into the European Union for anyone who has served in the Russian armed forces. Thus, Europe will be inaccessible to all who participated in the invasion of Ukraine.” This move marks a significant escalation in the EU’s efforts to hold accountable those involved in the conflict.
The proposal reflects the EU’s ongoing commitment to supporting Ukraine and countering Russian aggression. As the situation continues to evolve, further details on the implementation of these sanctions are expected to follow.
The European Commission has proposed a travel ban for Russian military personnel as part of its latest sanctions package against Russia. This measure aims to restrict access to the EU for those involved in the conflict in Ukraine.
