EU targets biggest Russian bank, oil in latest round of sanctions
The European Union has adopted a sixth package of sanctions on Moscow, 100 days after the invasion of Ukraine.

The sanctions were agreed at a political level among EU leaders earlier this week, but technical disagreements had to be overcome before the new measures could be formally adopted.
