欧盟周一针对莫斯科的乌克兰战争对80多名个人和实体实施制裁,其中包括一名在俄罗斯被称为总统弗拉基米尔·普京“告解神父”的东正教神父。
欧盟在一份声明中表示,俄罗斯正教会高级主教格奥尔基·舍夫库诺夫,又称吉洪都主教,因“传播俄罗斯宣传和虚假信息”为入侵乌克兰辩护而被列为制裁对象。
舍夫库诺夫经常被俄罗斯媒体称为普京的“私人神父”和“告解神父”——他本人既未证实也未否认这一说法——他于2023年被任命为克里米亚都主教。克里米亚是乌克兰半岛,俄罗斯于2014年非法吞并该地区。
去年2月,俄罗斯联邦安全局(FSB)表示,他们挫败了一起由乌克兰指使的刺杀这位高级神职人员的阴谋,并逮捕了两名涉案人员。
这位主教是欧盟各国周一新增的俄罗斯制裁名单中的34名个人和47个实体之一。
欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡娅·卡拉斯表示:“我们批准了新一轮制裁,以进一步向俄罗斯施压,迫使它结束战争。这些措施直击俄罗斯军工复合体、其影子舰队以及为莫斯科针对欧洲的混合攻击提供支持的网络的核心。”

卡拉斯表示,西方制裁已经让俄罗斯损失超过1万亿美元。
“我们正一点一点地摧毁俄罗斯战争经济的根基,”她说。
此次制裁针对的是参与制造和向俄罗斯军队供应无人机及其他军事装备的个人和组织。
被指为俄罗斯宣传人员的人士也被列入制裁名单,其中包括一名名为亚历山德拉·约斯特的社交媒体网红,以及通过石油运输和出口帮助俄罗斯为战争筹集资金的公司和个人。
还有15人也被制裁,其中包括法官、检察官和执法官员,他们被指参与了毒害已遇害的反对派人物阿列克谢·纳瓦利内的行动。
制裁措施包括资产冻结、旅行禁令,以及禁止向被列入黑名单的个人和实体提供任何资金。
“每一项措施都在压缩俄罗斯的回旋余地,”卡拉斯说。
欧盟宣布制裁的同一天,俄罗斯向乌克兰多个主要城市发射了一连串导弹,造成至少11人死亡,并在一座最重要的东正教修道院引发火灾。
作为对此次袭击的回应,乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基呼吁七国集团领导人加大对莫斯科的施压。七国集团领导人正在法国举行峰会,会议的主要议题将是美伊结束战争的协议。
俄罗斯2022年2月入侵乌克兰已演变为二战以来欧洲最严重的冲突,造成数千名平民和数十万士兵死亡。
Russian bishop known as Putin’s “personal priest” targeted by EU sanctions

The European Union imposed sanctions on more than 80 people and entities over Moscow’s war in Ukraine Monday, including an Orthodox priest described in Russia as President Vladimir Putin’s “confessor.”
Georgiy Shevkunov, also known as Metropolitan Tikhon, a senior bishop in the Russian Orthodox Church, was targeted for “spreading Russian propaganda and disinformation” aimed at justifying the invasion of Ukraine, the bloc said in a statement.
Often referred to in Russian media as Putin’s “personal priest” and “confessor” — a claim he has neither confirmed nor denied — Shevkunov was named Metropolitan of Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula that Russia illegally annexed in 2014, in 2023.
In February last year, Russia’s FSB security service said it had arrested two people after thwarting a Ukrainian-ordered plot to kill the prelate.
The bishop was among 34 individuals and 47 entities that EU countries added to a Russia sanctions list Monday.
“We approved another batch of sanctions to put more pressure on Russia to end the war,” said the EU’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas. “These measures strike at the heart of Russia’s military-industrial complex, its shadow fleet, and the networks that fuel Moscow’s hybrid attacks against Europe.”

Western sanctions have already cost Russia over $1 trillion, Kallas said.
“Brick by brick, we are collapsing the foundations of Russia’s war economy,” she said.
The sanctions hit individuals and organizations involved in the manufacturing and supply of drones and other military equipment to Russian forces.
Alleged Russian propagandists, including a social media influencer identified as Alexandra Jost, as well as firms and people helping Russia fund its war via the shipment and export of oil were also targeted.
So were 15 people including judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officials allegedly involved in the poisoning of murdered opposition figure Alexei Navalny.
The sanctions include asset freezes, travel bans and a prohibition to make any funds available to those blacklisted.
“Every measure shrinks Russia’s room for maneuver,” Kallas said.
The sanctions were announced on the same day that Russia fired a barrage of missiles at several major Ukrainian cities, killing at least 11 people and sparking a blaze at one of the most important Orthodox monasteries.
In response to the assault, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for more pressure on Moscow from G7 leaders who were gathering at a summit in France set to be dominated by the U.S.-Iranian deal to end the war.
Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine has turned into Europe’s worst conflict since World War II, with thousands of civilians and hundreds of thousands of troops killed.
