The move targeted nine people and four entities accused of links to an online spying network that the EU said has targeted governments and carried out sabotage operations against critical infrastructure like heating and power plants since 2010.<\/p>\n

The European Council said in a statement that those targeted \u201ccontribute to Russia\u2019s efforts to destabilize the EU, its member states and international partners.\u201d The espionage and attacks have taken place in at least nine countries.<\/p>\n

The names of the individuals and entities \u2014 which usually companies, government agencies, banks or other organizations \u2014 were not listed on the statement.<\/p>\n

French Foreign Minister Jean-No\u00ebl Barrot said that France intends to summon the Russian ambassador in the coming days. He told French BFM television that the aim of the cyberactivities is \u201ceither to capture information, or sabotage the operation, for example, of railway infrastructures, as was the case in Poland.\u201d<\/p>\n

The EU focused its measures on the 16th Center of Russia\u2019s Federal Security Service, or FSB. It said the FSB has been \u201ccontrolling a variety of cyberthreat groups,\u201d and said it \u201chas conducted a wide range of malicious cyberactivities with growing severity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some countries have accused Russia of using cyberattacks and propaganda to interfere with elections.<\/p>\n

In April, Sweden said Wednesday that a pro-Russian group with links to Russia\u2019s security and intelligence services was behind a cyberattack on a heating plant last year. The announcement followed warnings from officials in Poland, Norway, Denmark and Latvia that Russia is attacking critical infrastructure across Europe.<\/p>\n
