EU sanctions against Russia
The EU has imposed a series of sanctions against individuals and organisations. These measures are designed to weaken Russia's economic base, deprive it of critical technologies and significantly reduce its ability to wage war.
Fighting disinformation
Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine has been accompanied by a wave of false and misleading information about Ukraine. The EUvsDisinfo database has collected more than 5 000 individual cases of disinformation targeting Ukraine.
Reconstruction of Ukraine
A major global financial effort will be required to rebuild Ukraine once the war is over. The EU is already contributing substantially to boost the country’s ongoing resilience, and has also set up a new Ukraine Facility, a dedicated instrument to provide Ukraine with up to €50 billion in stable and predictable financial support for the years 2024 to 2027.
