EU extends sanctions against Syria until June 2025

The European Union on Tuesday said it had extended its sanctions against the Syrian government and its supporters until June 2025.
EU countries said they remained "deeply concerned" about the situation in Syria, where 316 persons and 86 entities are now subjected to European sanctions including an asset freeze and travel ban.
"After more than 13 years, the conflict remains a source of suffering and instability for the Syrian people and the region," the EU Council said in a statement.
