EU Extends Sanctions on Russia for 6 Months

0:00What's up? This is Global News today, bringing you the fastest global updates right now. The European Union just extended its sanctions on people and groups backing Russia's war in Ukraine for another six months. This came after some tough talks, with Hungary and Slovakia holding out with vetoes until they back down. The restrictions now last until September 15th. They hit those scene as threats to Ukraine's borders, freedom, and independence, including travel bans and frozen bank accounts. In a small change, the EU dropped two living people from the list, like a Dutch traitor linked to Russian oil and removed five who had passed away. Hungary and Slovakia wanted more names off, especially some Russian tycoons. Hungarian leader Viktor Orban even pushed to pause energy sanctions, blaming sky-high prices partly on the conflict. Around 2,600 targets still face these tough rules, which have grown a lot since Russia invaded Ukraine back in February 20. 22. The Daily News Now is powered by our sponsor.
