Compliance initiative on Russia (work in progress)
EU Russia Sanctions
Eighteen packages of sanctions have been adopted for Russia.
The measures are designed to achieve the EU policy objective of ending Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, through maximising pressure on Russia and using all tools available to diminish Russia’s ability to wage its illegal war of aggression.
EU sanctions are carefully targeted, designed to be proportionate, and temporary in nature.
This means that they are regularly reviewed, and that the EU can calibrate, ease or end them if the EU’s objectives, or meaningful steps towards such objectives, are achieved.
The EU has also adopted sanctions against Belarus, Iran and North Korea in response to their support for Russia in the military aggression against Ukraine.
