"EU Proposes Sanctions on Chinese and Indian Companies for Russia Ties, China Opposes"

The EU is considering imposing sanctions on companies in mainland China, Hong Kong, and India for aiding Russia's military efforts by providing technology through third countries. This move aims to close loopholes and prevent Russia from circumventing existing restrictions. The proposed sanctions also target Russian shipping companies involved in arms transportation from North Korea to Russia. The EU seeks to crack down on firms supporting Russia's military and plans to impose asset freezes and visa bans on more Russian officials.
