The EU Council adopted a comprehensive sanctions package consisting of 34 individuals and 47 entities in response to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, hybrid threats, and systematic human rights violations. The measures target Russia's military-industrial complex, its shadow fleet ecosystem used to circumvent energy sanctions, state propaganda networks, and those responsible for the poisoning and death of Alexei Navalny. Three Council decisions form the backbone of this sanctions wave: 1. Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/1363 imposes asset freezing sanctions on 15 individuals and 1 entity for involvement in the persecution, poisoning, and death of Alexei Navalny, including FSB operatives, judges, prosecutors, medical personnel, and law enforcement officials who obstructed investigations or facilitated his repression, as well as IPJSC NTK, a facial recognition technology company used to monitor and detain opposition activists and journalists in Moscow. 2. Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/1351 imposes asset freezing sanctions on 10 individuals and the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives for Russia's destabilizing hybrid activities, targeting prominent propagandists and media figures—including journalists, bloggers, Orthodox clergy, and TV personalities—responsible for spreading disinformation aimed at justifying Russia's aggression and dehumanizing Ukrainians. 3. Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/1364 imposes asset freezing sanctions on 9 persons and 45 entities supporting Russia's military-industrial complex and enabling energy revenue flows, including drone manufacturers (LLC Rustakt, LLC ASFPV, LLC IONOS), aerospace and defense contractors, Chinese suppliers, and 24 shipping companies operating vessels in Russia's shadow fleet engaged in irregular oil transport practices.
