The EU’s 16th sanctions package is intended to hit Russia where it hurts—cutting 13 banks from SWIFT, banning Kremlin propaganda, sanctioning its shadow fleet, and tightening the screws on oil, gas, and aviation.

EU officially adopts 16th package of sanctions against Russia

Three years ago, the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, expecting a swift victory, expecting the world to look away, expecting Ukraine to break.

Three years on, Ukraine still stands. It fights. It endures. And that in itself is a crushing defeat for Russia.

Russian war criminals have no place here!!

Any human being who has moral values, a code of ethics, will always support Ukraine!
