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 Russia's ban of the Yabloko liberal opposition party. The measure is part of the bloc's ongoing effort to pressure Moscow over its crackdown on political opposition. Details on which officials were targeted and the specific restrictions have not yet been widely reported.
Why now: The EU's punitive move against Russian officials ties into ongoing tensions over Russia's suppression of opposition politics.
