Overview
On June 15, 2026, the European Union approved new restrictive measures, adding 34 individuals and 47 entities to its sanctions list. These measures focus on those supporting Russia's ongoing war efforts, especially individuals and entities linked to Russia's military and industrial complex, which is vital for sustaining its war machine. The sanctions also specifically target Russia's 'shadow fleet' of oil and gas tankers, used to bypass existing energy sanctions, and address activities related to political interference. This move marks a significant step in the EU's strategy to disrupt Russia's ability to continue its aggression.
