"Additionally, I am submitting to the Council a list of proposals to sanction almost 100 additional individuals and entities for their role in undermining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. This includes those responsible for military activities, for political decisions, propaganda, and disinformation," said the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, in his speech at the plenary session of the European Parliament, APA reports.

"We are targeting those involved in inhumane kidnappings, deportations, and forced adoption of Ukrainian children to Russia and also those enabling the looting of Ukrainian resources.

We will again hit hard at the Russian military and defence sector, at the organizations related to them, [and] those responsible for the development of drones that are targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure," Josep Borrell stated.
