EU Expands Sanctions Against Russia Over Drone Attacks on Ukraine

The Council of the EU has adopted new restrictive measures against one individual and five entities within Russia's military-industrial complex, specifically targeting those involved in drone manufacturing. This decision comes in response to recent large-scale Russian strikes on Ukraine, including attacks on Kyiv in early July. The sanctioned entities are part of the ABS Electro group, which develops electronic components for military drone operations and automated control systems for Russia's energy sector.
