For the first time ever, the EU Council decided today to impose restrictive measures against 16 individuals and three entities in response to Russia's destabilising activities against the EU, its member states and its partners.

The designations also include GRU Unit 29155, a secret unit of the Russian military intelligence agency (GRU), known for its involvement in foreign assassinations and destabilization activities such as bombings and cyberattacks across Europe, and some of its military personnel active in Ukraine, Western Europe and Africa.

Meanwhile, the Meloni government has given the green light to a new package of military aid destined for Kiev . The decree - the tenth since the beginning of the war - will be illustrated on Wednesday at Copasir by the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto. As with previous measures, the list of materials to be sent to Kiev will be classified.
