Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022 and has been waging a war of aggression against the neighboring country ever since. Since then, the West has been supporting Ukraine with military and humanitarian aid packages while at the same time trying to weaken Russia with targeted sanctions.
The foreign ministers of the EU member states also want to formally decide on a new package of sanctions against the Kremlin at a meeting in Brussels on Monday. Among other things, it contains new trade restrictions as well as measures against Russian media and the so-called Russian shadow fleet. This was agreed in advance by the permanent representatives of the EU member states in Brussels.
