New sanctions package against Russia – and China
EU member states agree on their 15th sanctions package due to Russia’s renewed war against Ukraine.
“The ambassadors have just agreed. The package adds several people and companies to the previous sanctions lists,” writes Hungary, the country holding the presidency of the Council of Ministers, on X.
For the first time, even individual Chinese representatives are now expected to suffer sanctions in the form of frozen assets and visa bans to the EU.
The news site Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty has previously reported that sanctions are proposed against a Chinese and six Chinese companies, which are considered to be helping Russia with equipment for the war in Ukraine. In the past, Chinese companies have only suffered in the form of trade bans on certain equipment that can be used militarily.
In addition, some 40 additional ships, which are designated to help Russia circumvent previous sanctions regarding the country’s oil trade, are also assumed to be placed on the sanctions lists.
The exact details have not yet been made public. Formally, the sanctions decision is expected to be taken when the EU countries’ foreign ministers meet in Brussels on Monday.

Hunters who shot ponies no longer suspect
The hunter who shot two Shetland ponies in a paddock in Nykvarn in October is no longer suspected of a crime. The preliminary investigation is closed because, according to the prosecutor, it is not possible to prove that any crime was committed, Jaktjournalen reports.
The hunter was suspected of hunting offences, vandalism, causing danger to others and animal cruelty.
– There was no game that was shot, so the incident is not covered by the hunting law, says prosecutor Richard Wahlqvist to Länstidningen.
Neither have the other crimes been proven, according to the prosecutor.
The man mistook the ponies Charisma and Bubbe for wild boars, which led to their deaths. According to him, the movements of the ponies resembled wild boar.
