The European Union (EU) has imposed sanctions on the Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin.
The EU said in a statement on Thursday that Prigozhin participated in supporting Wagner’s activities in Libya, which threaten not only the country’s peace, stability and security, but also that of the entire region.
The EU noted that the sanctions were to include travel bans and the freezing of assets, saying that the Russian group had, on several occasions, violated the Security Council Resolution issued in 2011 regarding the embargo on arms supplies to Libya, including the delivery of weapons, along with the deployment of mercenaries in Libya in support of Haftar’s forces.
