Council of the EU extends sanctions on 2,600 individuals and entities undermining Ukraine’s territorial integrity, including travel bans and asset freezes now until 15 Sept 2026

Two listings were not renewed and five deceased individuals removed. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, the EU has progressively expanded sanctions to weaken Russia’s economy and limit its ability to wage war, while reaffirming unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and continuing coordinated political, financial, humanitarian, military, and diplomatic assistance. The EU remains committed to maintaining pressure on Russia and pushing for meaningful negotiations toward peace.
