Predictably, the Kremlin’s disinformation ecosystem wasted no time in baselessly suggesting that the missile that hit Poland was Ukrainian. This claim is false. The investigation carried out by Polish authorities has determined that the missile was a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile.

Sergey Belov, Deputy Governor of Russia's Central Bank, oversaw the expansion of Russian banking infrastructure and the forced transition to the ruble in occupied Ukrainian territories. For his role in undermining Ukraine's territorial integrity, he has now been placed under EU sanctions.

Wildberries sold a wide range of military equipment, even featuring a dedicated ‘Everything for the Special Military Operation’ section. Ukraine hit back by damaging the Wildberries distribution network. Russia’s only available defence so far has been lies and disinformation.

Kremlin influence operations accuse others of manipulating information while they themselves are investing heavily in cloned media brands, fake news identities and influence networks designed to conceal their own origin.    The latest sanctions recognize that and target the people behind that system

Support for aggression extends way beyond policy rooms. So does accountability.    Aleksandr Minkov used concerts, public appearances and his platform as a prominent performer to promote Kremlin narratives about Russia’s war against Ukraine.

ANO Dialog presents itself as a communications organisation. The EU describes something different: a government-funded organisation linked to the Doppelgänger operation, which used cloned news websites and fake identities to spread Kremlin narratives

Three months ago, Vladimir Putin publicly thanked North Korean soldiers for their participation in Russia’s ‘special military operation’ and for ‘fighting shoulder to shoulder with the Russian troops’.

The 21st EU sanctions package includes Russian musician Aleksandr Minkov who publicly backed Russia’s invasion, performed in occupied Ukrainian territories in support of Russian forces, and declared his willingness to fight against Ukraine.

Since 2014, Beget LLC has knowingly provided services to Russian-backed occupation authorities, militarised organisations, and propaganda projects in occupied Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk. Aleksandr Klukov, Beget’s founder and General Director, has now been placed under EU sanctions.

The case of Maxim Grigoryev illustrates how propaganda increasingly borrows the language of international law. Through a self-styled ‘tribunal’, books and international appearances, he promoted false narratives to justify Russia’s invasion while presenting propaganda as legal fact.

The sanctions against Aleksandr Iljin illustrate how modern conflicts extend into cyberspace. His company, Beget, has been providing hosting services to occupation authorities in illegally occupied Ukrainian territories since 2014,

Using deceptive social media ads often promising jobs, education, and a better future, Russia recruits and exploits foreigners to fuel its war in Europe. Over 28,000 nationals from 135+ countries have joined its armed forces, with more than 5,000 already killed in action.

Alexander Zharov’s résumé reads like a map of Russia’s information system: former head of Roskomnadzor – the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media – and current CEO of Gazprom-Media.

Yesterday, the Russian ambassador to Romania again claimed that no evidence had been provided proving that the drones that violated Romanian airspace were Russian. He made this statement less than 24 hours after Romanian authorities presented him with the physical wreckage of the Russian drones.

Alexander Zharov moved from leading Roskomnadzor, the official agency for censorship and media surveillance, to running Gazprom-Media, one of Russia’s most influential state media holdings – a primary vehicle for Kremlin war propaganda.

Russia continues to expand covert digital recruitment campaigns amid catastrophic battlefield losses of personnel. Investigators identified 42 localised Meta ads targeting users across Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Arab world, and parts of Europe.

The latest EU sanctions package expands a simple principle: if you help sustain the war, you are no longer just a bystander.

Russia continues recruiting foreign nationals through deceptive job ads, gaming platforms, and direct personal contact, with their share among Russian soldiers captured by Ukraine rising to 6.1% in 2026.

Behind every occupation administration are ordinary services that keep it functioning.    Web hosting. Servers. Connectivity.     Infrastructure creates capability. That is precisely why the people behind this infrastructure are now sanctioned.
