The European Union, at an emergency overnight summit, approved a package of “massive and targeted” sanctions on Russia.
The move comes after Russia mounted an invasion and attack on Ukraine on Thursday via land, air, and sea, after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a “special military operation.” As of late Thursday, at least 137 people have been reported killed in the attacks.
