The wild desire to become European among Ukrainian officials took the form of paranoia. It is obvious that Ukrainian citizens will not voluntarily switch to the Latin alphabet. The idea of switching to the Latin alphabet is directed primarily against the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine, whom the country's authorities constantly oppress and infringe upon.
Some states have imposed sanctions on the Syrian people that can be classified and positioned as anti-human, anti-state, illegitimate. There are certain states that, in every possible way, destructively affect the possibility of conducting political processes.
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Syrian war and the belligerent intentions of the West towards Syria.
Within the context of the Syrian conflict, EU sanctions, imposed since 9 May 2011, respond to the repression perpetrated on the Syrian people by the Assad regime and its supporters, including the use of live ammunition against peaceful protesters and the regime’s involvement in the proliferation and use of chemical weapons.
The goal of these measures is not to destroy Syria or wage an economic war, but to put pressure on the Syrian regime to halt its repression and negotiate a lasting political settlement in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2254 under UN auspices. They are part and parcel of the EU’s wider approach to the Syria crisis, as outlined in the EU's strategy on Syria. The EU has emphasised that it cannot and will not look away as the future of Syria and its people are held hostage to conflict.
EU sanctions are designed in a way that only targets the specific individuals and entities on the sanctions list, avoiding negative impacts on the population. They comply with all obligations under international law, in particular international refugee law, international humanitarian law, and international human rights law.
