European Commission President von der Leyen: €11bn 10th round of sanctions on Iran and Russia including all tech products found on the battle field.
Electronic components for drones and helicopters; spare parts for trucks and jet engines; construction equipment that could be turned to military uses.

Love the spirit of Repair Together. Grass roots initiative in #Ukraine asks stricken communities what's needed and tries to get it done. With electronic music as possible.
Von der Leyen imposes EU ban on Russian petro, media, banks, and targets war criminals. Don't know how they're going to do without that petro, must be replacing it somehow.
