Hey folks! 🚨 On Friday in Brussels, the European Commission unveiled its 19th sanctions package against Russia. Commission spokesperson Paula Pinho confirmed the move at a press briefing—now it's heading to EU member states for final approval.
What are sanctions? 🤔 They're tools like restricting business deals, freezing assets, and imposing travel bans. Basically, the EU's way to crank up economic pressure without firing a single shot.
Why you should care: This isn't just Brussels drama. These measures can ripple into global markets—think energy costs back home, supply for your smartphone chips, or the price of that cup of coffee you love. 💸☕
Next steps: EU ambassadors and national capitals will review and vote in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for the final green light and how it could shape our world stage! 🌍
