The European Union has imposed sanctions on 16 individuals and three entities it said were linked to Russian hybrid activities, its first such measures against actions of this kind, it said in a statement on Monday.

The sanctions target those accused of undermining EU values and security through disinformation campaigns, cyberattacks and covert operations, Reuters reported.

Those sanctioned include Artem Kureev, who the EU said was linked to Russian disinformation in Africa, and Sofia Zakharova, who it said was involved in a disinformation campaign supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine.
