    Vessels used in this context must also be able to be refused access to EU ports.

  • All set for the next sanctions package

    The EU countries’ eleventh sanctions package against Russia for the war in Ukraine is now completely clear, after approval from all capitals.

    “Today’s package increases the pressure on Russia and Putin’s war machine. By targeting circumvention of the sanctions, we maximize the pressure by depriving Russia of the resources it so desperately needs,” writes the EU’s foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell in a press release.

    Above all, the eleventh package includes a threat to take measures against companies or countries that are used to circumvent the many export and import bans that the EU has imposed on Russia. Vessels used in this context must also be able to be refused access to EU ports.

    More people and companies, including five more Russian media companies, are also being punished for their actions.

    In total, there are now well over 1,000 people on the list of those who are to be refused entry visas and have their possible assets in the EU frozen.

    Hello all readers 🙂

    There seems to be a lot of interest and divided opinions about what TT stands for, whether it is “Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå” or “TT Nyhetsbyrån”.

    So we clear it up once and for all.

    This is how TT writes on its website.

    “Our independent news agency saw the light of day under the name Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå in 1921. Today we are called TT Nyhetsbyrån and we make news that is read by almost all of Sweden”
