EU shuts airspace to Russian planes

@vonderleyen
First, we are shutting down the EU airspace for Russian-owned, Russian registered or Russian-controlled aircraft.

They won’t be able to land in, take off or overfly the territory of the EU.

Including the private jets of oligarchs.

Second, we will ban the Kremlin’s media machine in the EU.

The state-owned Russia Today and Sputnik, and their subsidiaries,
will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin’s war.

We are developing tools to ban their toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe.

Third, we will target the other aggressor in this war, Lukashenko’s regime, with a new package of sanctions, hitting their most important sectors.

All these measures come on top of the strong package presented yesterday,
agreed by our international partners.

Putin thought the could intimidate Europe and the world with his threats and attempted nuclear blackmail, instead he's united the world against him like no other time in history.

Way to go Vlad, hope you enjoy hell.
