EU's 21st sanctions package against Russia: ambassadors meet in Brussels on July 22, 2026
EU member state ambassadors gathered in Brussels on July 22, 2026, to finalize the 21st sanctions package against Russia, following previous failed attempts amid persistent discontent among certain member states. The same night, Russian missiles and drones struck Kyiv, forcing residents to seek shelter in underground parking garages. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised a Ukrainian nighttime attack targeting logistics hubs supplying the Russian military with drone components, navigation equipment, and other materiel. Zelenskyy stated Ukraine has submitted all possible peace proposals to Moscow and now seeks to "force" Russia toward diplomacy.
