EU prolongs sanctions on Russian individuals, keeping blacklist intact
The European Union maintains sanctions on over 2,500 Russian individuals and entities to pressure Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and related war crimes, officials said.
- On September 12, 2025, the European Union decided to prolong its sanctions for half a year, targeting over 2,500 people and organizations connected to Russia, among them President Vladimir Putin.
- This extension followed routine six-month renewals since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, amid Hungary and Slovakia's veto attempts to remove some names from the blacklist.
- The sanctions target those accused of supporting Russia's war and undermining Ukraine's sovereignty, with no names spared despite Hungary and Slovakia dropping demands.
- High Representative Kaja Kallas announced that the EU has recently prolonged its sanctions against Russia, while Brussels works on finalizing a new sanctions package targeting oil, shadow tanker operations, and financial institutions.
- The extension maintains EU pressure on Moscow and signals continued support for Ukraine, with efforts coordinated with Washington despite stalled peace talks and recent drone incursions.
