(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, DEC 07 - "We will cut Russia's access to all types of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The EU proposes to ban direct exports of drone engines to Russia and exports to third countries, such as Iran, which could supply drones to Russia".
This was announced by the president of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen in a video in which she broadly explains the EU's ninth package of sanctions against Moscow.
"Russia continues to bring death and devastation to Ukraine. We stand with Ukraine and are making Russia pay for its cruelty. The 8 sanctions packages we have introduced so far are already hitting hard. Today we are stepping up the pressure on Russia with a ninth sanctions package ",
