The European Union has extended sanctions against 21 Nicaraguan officials, including Vice President Rosario Murillo and her children, for another year due to ongoing concerns about the political situation in Nicaragua. Simultaneously, the EU has introduced a new system to impose sanctions on individuals involved in cyber-attacks or sabotage on behalf of Russia, aiming to counter efforts to undermine EU support for Ukraine. These moves reflect the EU's broader strategy to address both regional political repression and international security threats.
