Russia continues to bring death and devastation to Ukraine.
We stand by Ukraine and we are making Russia pay for its cruelty
The existing 8 packages of sanctions we introduced so far are already biting hard.
Today we are stepping up the pressure on Russia with a 9th package↓

4. New export controls, particularly for dual-use goods that could be used by the Russian war machine
We also target the Russian propaganda machine by proposing to take 4 more channels off the air and we propose more economic measures against the Russian energy and mining sector

@vonderleyen Please consider sanctioning #Rosatom.
Stop Russia from building a #nuclearpower plant in the #EuropeanUnion and stop the 12.5 billion € that #Hungary is paying for it.
Follow #Finland's path who cancelled the contract with Russia for a plant in Hanhikivi following the invasion of #Ukraine️

Trouble is, the EU would need Hungary’s agreement for sanctioning Rosatom.
What do you the chances of that are?
@chowderman @vonderleyen You're right, sanctions need unanimity of Member States. Not only Hungary, other countries rely on Rosatom for nuclear fuel. I give it very low chances. I must admit my request is more performative than practical (but hopefully informative).
