- Germany's Foreign Minister Wadephul characterized the EU's new sanctions package as an "unprecedented" blow to Russia
- The EU agreed to sanction nearly 1,600 Russian people and firms linked to drone and missile parts production
- The package is the EU's largest-ever sanctions listing, framed explicitly against Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine
Why it matters: The bloc's largest-ever sanctions listing — nearly 1,600 targets tied to drone and missile supply chains — raises the economic cost on Russia's military-industrial backbone at a moment when Moscow is sustaining strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure.
