# European Union ambassadors have approved the bloc’s 15th package of sanctions against Russia in response to its ongoing military aggression in Ukraine. The new package adds more persons and entities to the already existing sanctions list. It also constrains the activity of additional vessels of third states operating to contribute or support actions or policies supporting Russia’s actions against Ukraine. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen says the EU and its G7 partners are committed to closing loopholes and targeting the global networks enabling Russia’s war efforts.
