Important European Union 2026-05-11

What changed

The EU Council has updated the list of individuals and entities subject to restrictive measures under Regulation (EU) No 269/2014, which targets those responsible for actions undermining Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence. This implementing regulation adds, removes, or amends entries on the sanctions list, meaning affected persons may have their assets frozen and be subject to travel bans within the EU.

Who is affected

Businesses, banks, financial institutions, and individuals across the EU are affected if they have any dealings with newly listed persons or entities. Anyone on the updated list faces asset freezes and other restrictions, and EU persons are prohibited from making funds or resources available to them.

What to look out for

→ It is worth checking the updated EU sanctions list if you conduct business or financial transactions that could involve parties connected to Russia or the conflict in Ukraine. Official information and the full list are available at the EU's sanctions database (sanctions.ec.europa.eu).
