Russians and North Korean named by EU.
European Union sanctions against Russia have included punitive action against individuals who were purportedly part of the country's cyber and information operations against Ukraine.
According to The Record, individuals allegedly involved in cyberwarfare and information operations against Ukraine. These include a number of Russians, and Lee Chang Ho, a 58-year-old identified as the head of North Korea’s Reconnaissance General Bureau.
The latter has already faced U.S. and South Korean sanctions, and has been among those sanctioned by the EU over his role in overseeing the state-sponsored Lazarus and Kimsuky threat operations, as well as deploying and coordinating North Korean military personnel in Russia's war against Ukraine.
Other sanctions have been imposed against Russian blogger Kristina Potupchik for spearheading anti-Ukraine information campaigns, as well as athlete Nikita Nagorny and eight Russian media firms for disseminating pro-Russian propaganda.
