The European Union has imposed sanctions against 10 individuals and 17 entities for the illegal deportation and forced transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia. The decision was made on Monday by the EU Council, reports IPN.

The list includes the President of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnihanov, accused of facilitating the transfer of Ukrainian children to camps in the region he governs. The new sanctions also target some representatives of the Russian occupation authorities in Ukrainian territories, as well as directors of Russian camps and schools, accused of ideological indoctrination.

Among the entities included on the list are the Moscow Tourism Committee and two Russian travel agencies. Also targeted are camps and sports centers in Russia and in the occupied Ukrainian territories, which conduct military-patriotic education activities. The list also includes the Songdowon International Children’s Camp in North Korea, involved, in coordination with Moscow, in programs for the transfer of Ukrainian children.

On the other hand, the Council of the European Union has sanctioned ten more individuals for supporting the repression of the democratic opposition in Russia. This refers to three judges of the Supreme Court and an official of the Prosecutor General’s Office, involved in the decision to exclude the Yabloko party from the State Duma elections in September, the only formation that openly opposed the war against Ukraine.

The list also includes the judge who recently sentenced the vice-president of Yabloko, Lev Shlosberg, to 11 years and one month in prison for discrediting the Russian army and spreading “fake news” about the war in Ukraine. Also targeted are the prosecutor who requested this sentence and the judges in the trials of two other representatives of the Yabloko party leadership.

The Council of the European Union has approved the first five projects aimed at strengthening the defense and industrial capacity of the community bloc. These target drones and anti-drone systems, maritime defense, space, air and missile defense, as well as securing the eastern flank, reports IPN.

According to the European forum, in the space sector, satellites will be developed for early detection of missile launches, surveillance and reconnaissance systems, as well as the ability to quickly launch replacement satellites. The air and missile defense segment will include a common early warning system and coordinated command structures, while the protection of the eastern flank will simultaneously cover terrestrial, aerial, maritime, and cyber space.

At the same time, member states will be able to produce, expand and deploy more drones, along with technologies for neutralizing adverse ones. For the maritime area, an integrated and compatible system will be created, which will allow the identification, discouragement and counteracting of threats from the sea surface and the underwater environment.

With the approval of the Council, the five initiatives can receive funding through the European Defense Industry Program (EDIP). The money will cover the initial deployment, and later the projects could benefit from support from the future European Competitiveness Fund.
