EU extends individual listings over Ukraine’s territorial integrity for further six months

On 14 March, the Council of the European Union prolonged the restrictive measures targeting those responsible for undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine for another six months, until 15 September 2026.

Individual listings will continue to apply to around 2,600 individuals and entities, who were targeted in response to Russia’s ongoing unjustified and unprovoked military aggression against Ukraine. 

The current restrictive measures include travel restrictions for natural persons, the freezing of assets, and a ban on making funds or other economic resources available to the listed individuals and entities.

In the context of the sanctions’ review, the Council also decided not to renew the listings of two individuals (Maia Bolotova and Nils Troost) and to remove five deceased persons from the list.

After 24 February 2022, in response to Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine, the EU massively expanded sanctions against Russia with the aim of significantly weakening Russia’s economic base, depriving it of critical technologies and markets, and significantly curtailing its ability to wage war.
