EU Should Prosecute Sanctions Busters, Top Diplomat Urges

Kaja Kallas, the EU's top diplomat, is calling on the European Public Prosecutor's Office to take on a mandate to pursue sanctions evasion and disrupt Russia's war economy. The move would expand EPPO's enforcement powers to combat sophisticated schemes circumventing EU sanctions on Moscow. This reflects growing EU concerns about sanctions enforcement gaps as Russia finds workarounds to maintain economic activity.

Byte's take

Kallas wants the EU's prosecutors to go after sanctions dodgers—a logical move if Brussels actually means to strangle Russia's war machine.
