This Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1476 concerns restrictive measures against individuals and entities undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence of Ukraine. It amends Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 by adding more individuals and entities to the list of those subject to sanctions.
The regulation consists of two articles and an annex. Article 1 states that Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 is amended as per the Annex to this new regulation. Article 2 specifies that the regulation will come into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. The Annex lists the names of 14 individuals and 41 entities that are added to the sanctions list.
The main provision of this act is the inclusion of additional individuals and entities in Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 269/2014, which means they are now subject to restrictive measures such as asset freezes and travel bans. These additions target individuals and entities involved in various activities, including those supporting Russia’s military-industrial complex, circumventing EU sanctions, operating in occupied territories of Ukraine, or contributing to the Russian government’s revenue through involvement in the energy sector.
