After food and hunger, Putin now decided to weaponize the winter.
He wants to disrupt electricity, heating, and water supplies for millions of civilians across #Ukraine.
We are responding with the 9th package of sanctions against those who are instrumental in this brutal war.

I am presenting to Member States almost 200 additional individuals and entities to be sanctioned.
This includes those responsible for military activities, disinformation, for looting of Ukrainian grain and for inhumane, illegal deportations and kidnappings of Ukrainian children.

We will be hitting hard at the Russian armed forces, the military and defence sector, companies producing military equipment or those who are planning the missile strikes that are targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, in gross violation of international law.

We are proposing measures against members of the Russian government, the Duma and the Federation Council; so-called judges who instead of upholding the rule of law, are providing fake legitimacy to the Russian rulers and their illegal decisions.

We are imposing restrictive measures on news outlets, persons and organisations who are attacking the public space with disinformation, trying to deflect Russia's blame and poisoning people's minds.
We are determined to act in support of #Ukraine.
For as long as needed.
