The European Union expanded its sanctions against Russia by adding the owners of the retail chain 'Svetofor' to its blacklist and imposing export controls on 51 companies supplying dual-use goods to Russia. The measures target entities supporting Russia's military-industrial complex, including firms in metallurgy, gold, and diamond sectors.

- The new sanctions include restrictions on physical persons, organizations, and financial institutions.
