look. Who are the Russian mercenaries Wagner?
With this publication, the new penalties came into force on Saturday evening. Among others, 87 people and 34 organizations have been added to the blacklist. These include Tinkoff Bank, Rosbank, and Alfa-Bank, Russia’s largest privately owned financial institution. Major contributors, such as founder Michael Fridman, have been on the list for some time.
In addition to those responsible for the forced deportation and adoption of Ukrainian children, two military commanders of the Wagner mercenary army in Ukraine were also included in the list. It now has 1,473 individuals and 205 organizations. Their assets on European soil will be frozen and individuals will no longer be allowed to travel to the European Union.
In addition, the tenth sanctions package includes a new export ban on industrial goods worth about 11 billion euros. For example, European suppliers are no longer allowed to export electronics, machine parts, cranes, truck parts, and jet engines to Russia.
In a separate sanctions regime, the European Union slapped more sanctions on Wagner on Saturday night. It concerns eleven individuals and seven organizations with ties to the Russian militia who are held jointly responsible for human rights abuses in the Central African Republic and Sudan and undermining stability in Mali.
