On August 7, the European Union approved new sanctions against Russia in response to the recent massive missile and drone strikes on Ukraine.

"Every new attack on Ukraine is yet another reason for Europe to tighten the screws on Russia," the post reads
Five people have been added to the sanctions list
According to Kallas, the new restrictions apply to five individuals linked to the Russian military-industrial complex.
"As the Russian army remains bogged down on the battlefield, Moscow is further intensifying its campaign of terror against the civilian population. The EU must continue to ramp up pressure on Russia until Moscow ends the war," said the EU's top diplomat.
