The European Union plans to adopt the next 16th package of sanctions against Russia on February 24, 2025, the third anniversary of the start of the special military operation. This was reported by the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, citing diplomatic sources in Brussels.

The newspaper’s sources say the package of restrictions is intended to be a “clear signal to Moscow” and will include “measures against specific sectors of the Russian economy that are not yet covered or are not sufficiently covered.”
Sanctions will also reportedly be imposed against individuals and organizations that “are considered propagandists of the Russian regime and are responsible for undermining the territorial integrity of Ukraine.”
The European Commission plans to impose an EU entry ban and freeze the assets of people who “spy for Russia and participated in disinformation campaigns, including in Germany.”
At the same time, the publication’s sources note that Brussels will find it “difficult” to trace the participation of people in information attacks and prove their guilt.
This week, the European Union adopted the 15th package of sanctions against Russia, aimed at limiting the activity of the “shadow fleet” and “weakening the Russian military-industrial complex.” 54 people and 30 companies were subject to restrictions.
