EU RENEWS MEASURES AGAINST RUSSIA

On 26 July, the EU Council decided to prolong by six months, until 31 January 2023, the restrictive measures and sanctions targeting specific sectors of the economy of the Russian Federation.

In addition to the economic sanctions, the EU has in place different types of measures including restrictions on economic relations with the illegally annexed Crimea and the city of Sevastopol as well as the non-government controlled areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts; individual restrictive measures (asset freezes and travel restrictions) on a broad range of individuals and entities, and diplomatic measures.
