⚡️ With its new leadership, the European Union has persisted with its aggressive and confrontational policy towards Russia and kept relying on unilateral restrictive measures as a tool for exerting pressure on our country.

The EU member states approved the latest sanctions package on December 16. It was the 15th time they did so. At the same time, the EU bureaucrats have been turning a blind eye to the fact that these steps are illegitimate in terms of international law when taken bypassing the UN Security Council.

📉 They fail to produce any meaningful results, except for undermining and eroding the EU’s reputation in the eyes of the Global Majority.

In response to these unfriendly actions, Russia has substantially expanded the list of representatives from EU institutions and EU member states who will be banned from entering the territory of our state as per Federal Law No 114-FZ of August 15, 1996, on the Procedure of Exit from and Entry to the Russian Federation.

The list includes:

🔻 representatives of law enforcement and security agencies, state-run and private entities from the EU, citizens of EU member states in charge of providing military aid to Kiev;

🔻 staff members at EU institutions and state bodies in EU member states who were involved in persecuting Russian officials for carrying out “illegal arrests and kidnappings from Ukrainian territories,” in organising a “special tribunal” for Russian leaders, officials who advocate confiscating Russian state assets or using revenues from them in Kiev’s interests, officials responsible for introducing sanctions against our country and trying to undermine its relations with other countries;

🔻 civil activists and representatives of the academic community notorious for their rhetoric;

🔻 members of parliament from EU member states and members of the European Parliament who voted in favour of anti-Russian resolutions and draft laws.

❗️ Russia reaffirms its commitment to responding to any unfriendly steps on behalf of the European Union accordingly and in a timely manner.
