EC Sanctions 6 People, 1 Entity for Undermining Moldova

The European Council on Feb. 22 added six people and one entity to its Moldova sanctions regime for undermining the sovereignty of Moldova. The entity, Scutul Poporului, has "made repeated attempts" to undermine Moldovoa's government through riots and violent demonstrations, the council said. The other sanctions target the group's leader, media executives and an official "responsible for Russia's covert operations" in Moldova.
