EU member states on Wednesday (21 February) agreed to ban exports to three mainland Chinese firms and blacklist North Korea's defence minister in new sanctions for the second anniversary of Russia's war on Ukraine.

EU ambassadors approved the package very quickly, without discussion, except for one statement from Hungary, who last week had requested more time to consider the contents, EU diplomats said.

It also focuses much of its efforts on enforcing existing restrictions and targets some 200 hundred officials and entities, making it the largest package since the war started.
