EU agrees on 'one of its strongest' Russia sanctions packages after Slovakia lifts veto * UK sanctions Russian intelligence units involved in cyberattacks * Ukrainian drones reportedly attack Moscow for second night in a row * Ukrainian hackers wipe databases at Russia's Gazprom in major cyberattack,

The EU’s 18th package of sanctions against Russia expands restrictions on Moscow’s finance and energy sectors, introduces a moving price cap on its oil exports and blacklists 105 tankers in a “shadow fleet” that it uses to bypass sanctions imposed since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine almost three-and-a-half years ago.

The European Union on Friday reached an agreement to impose its 18th round of sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine after Slovakia ended its protest.
