EU approves record sanctions package targeting Russia's missile production

derstandard.at (German) —

The EU has approved its largest sanctions package against Russia, targeting Moscow's missile production, just days after Donald Trump publicly snubbed Ukraine. The decision was made at the EU foreign ministers' meeting in Luxembourg. The new measures aim to cripple Russia's military capabilities by restricting access to key components and technologies used in missile manufacturing. This move comes as a direct response to the recent diplomatic rift between Kyiv and Washington. The package represents Europe's effort to support Ukraine amid growing uncertainty over US commitment. It follows the weekend's potentially consequential break between Kyiv and Washington, underscoring the EU's role as a key backer.
