EU slaps sanctions on Russian, Ukrainian officials
European Union (EU) foreign ministers have agreed to impose sanctions on dozens of Russian and Ukrainian officials they deem responsible for the independence referendum in Ukraine’s autonomous region of Crimea. ● After a three-hour meeting in the Belgian capital, Brussels, on Monday, the EU’s 28 top diplomats reportedly slapped travel bans and asset freezes on 13 Russian nationals and 8 people from the Crimean territory. The names of the individuals under sanction have not been immediately released, but they are expected to be published later in the EU's daily Official Journal.
