The European Union has prepared a new sanctions package targeting Russian drone-makers following large-scale air strikes on Kyiv. According to Euronews, the measures aim to restrict the production and supply of systems used in the attacks.
Bloc officials say the sanctions are designed to make it harder to access components used in building the drones. The decision is drawing broad support among member states.
Ukraine had reported that strikes on its cities intensified in recent weeks. The EU reiterated that it would maintain support for Ukraine and plans to increase economic pressure on Russia. The sanctions' entry into force depends on approval by member states.
