EU foreign ministers approved nearly 1,600 new listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex on Oct. 12, the largest single addition to the bloc’s sanctions lists. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said more than half were linked to ballistic missile production. The measures freeze assets held in the EU and prohibit transactions with listed entities, aiming to impede Russia’s war industry.
