FAQ n.136152

In the aftermath of the Russian armed attack against Ukraine on 25.02.2022, the EU Council adopted different packages of sanctions against Russia. A comprehensive description of those measures can be found on the EU Council website.

The two key legislative instruments (“Sanctions Regulations”) are:

• Regulation (EU) No 833/2014: this Regulation contains the sectorial measures such as export bans and other aviation measures such as the overflight ban.
• Regulation (EU) No 269/2014: this Regulation contains the asset freeze and the prohibition to make any funds or economic resources available to persons and entities that are listed. Please note that individuals can be subject to an asset freeze under other Regulations. This can be checked in the Financial Sanctions Files.

These legislative instruments have been amended many times since the start of the invasion of Ukraine to integrate new measures.
