The Brussels political center officially announced a large-scale sanctions package targeting nine individuals and six organizational structures suspected of subversive international activities. Among the targeted institutions, the "Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network" stands out as a key distributor of pro-Kremlin propaganda.

Among those sanctioned are strategically important formations, including the 841st Separate Electronic Warfare Center, based in the Kaliningrad region. Along with institutional targets, two high-ranking officers from the respective structure have been included in the restrictive list.

Additional restrictions have been imposed on the BRICS Journalists Association, the Anti-Injustice Fund, the Center for Geopolitical Expertise, and the digital platform Tigerweb, known for spreading pro-Russian information policy.

The introduced sanctions mechanisms include a complete freeze of financial assets and a categorical ban on travel within European space. This move demonstrates the European Union's decisive position against hybrid operations conducted by the Kremlin - from disinformation campaigns to precisely planned cyber-attacks.
