EU sanctions five people linked to Russia’s military industry after Ukraine strikes
The EU sanctioned five individuals tied to Russia’s military-industrial complex after recent Russian air strikes on Ukraine, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said, accusing Moscow of escalating attacks on civilians as its forces stalled.
The Senate is set to finalise a deal on Russia sanctions after a year-long struggle, with a rare Friday session to complete the process. The vote will also include a bill to fund the government until December 11, potentially facing challenges due to a dispute over a hemp ban extension. Other pending issues include resolving the bipartisan college sports bill and Todd Blanche's nomination as attorney general, both of which currently lack the necessary votes for confirmation.
