EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Callas said on the 12th that the foreign ministers of EU member states decided on the same day to expand the sanctions list against the Russian military industry, involving about 1,600 individuals and entities. Callas wrote on social media that this is the largest expansion of the EU sanctions list against Russia since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out. More than half of the new targets of sanctions are related to the ballistic missile production supply chain. Callas also said that by expanding the scope of sanctions, the EU hopes to increase the difficulty, time cost, and economic cost of Russian weapons production, and reduce its military production capacity.
