Russia has expanded its list of representatives of European Union institutions and organizations subject to sanctions.
This move is in response to the 19th package of EU sanctions against Moscow.
"These are law enforcement officers, state and commercial organizations, citizens of EU member states and a number of other Western countries responsible for providing military assistance to Kiev, participating in organizing the supply of dual-use goods to Ukraine, carrying out activities aimed at undermining the territorial integrity of our country and organizing a blockade of the movement of Russian ships and cargo," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
The ministry emphasizes that the EU's hostile actions will not have any impact on Russian policy and emphasizes that Russia will continue to defend its national interests.
