#sanctions These #sanctions are not based on much EU realism, at a time the human and financial costs of this conflict exceed by far the benefits.
After a stalemate of eight years this will end like all wars do in a negotiated resolution, once the EU financiers of Ukraine start to ask themselves serious questions and decide they have enough of this senseless conflict and President Putin recognizes this is both military as economically unsustainable for Russia.
We are weakening Russia’s ability to maintain its war machine.

Russia is using hundreds of Iranian-built drones.
We propose to extend our export controls to Iranian entities.
