Risky Bulletin: EU sanctions more Russian disinformation peddlers
Presented by

The European Union has sanctioned three new clusters associated with Russia's disinformation networks across Africa and Europe.
This is the EU's 17th round of sanctions against Russia over its 2022 invasion and ongoing war in Ukraine. The sanctions are far broader and also target Russia's oil sector, its shadow fleet of oil tankers, and its hybrid warfare activities across Europe, which included extensive sabotage and disinformation campaigns.
We will not cover the entire sanctions package since it's out of the scope of this newsletter, but only the three clusters that are cyber adjacent.
