The european union has adopted its 20th package of sanctions against russia, with the package reportedly targeting various sectors including energy revenues, the military-industrial complex, trade, financial services, and crypto transactions. The scope of the sanctions also appears to include belarus, although the specifics of the measures are not entirely clear. The package is described by some as a "mini" sanctions package, while others highlight its impact on anti-circumvention efforts and a sweeping ban on crypto asset transactions with russian and belarusian providers.
