EU sanctions 10 Russian officials over Yabloko party ban
Original: European Union imposes sanctions on 10 Russian officials over Yabloko ban
The European Union has imposed sanctions on 10 Russian officials in response to Moscow's ban on the Yabloko party, one of Russia's last liberal opposition groups. The move targets those deemed responsible for the ban and signals the EU's continued pressure over the suppression of political opposition in Russia, drawing attention to the shrinking space for dissent there.
Why now: The EU's punitive response to the suppression of a liberal opposition party highlights escalating tensions between Brussels and Moscow.
