Ambassadors of the European Union countries have agreed on the largest expansion of the sanctions list against Russia – they plan to add 743 individuals and 826 companies related to the Russian military-industrial complex to it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported by<\/a> Radio Liberty. The information was also confirmed by the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Heorhiy Tykhyi.<\/p>\n

EU ambassadors agreed on the decision on October 7. According to Tykhy, it is currently preliminary and paves the way for final approval of sanctions next week.<\/p>\n

In total, the agreed list includes 1,569 positions<\/strong> . The initial draft included 744 individuals and 827 companies, but the final version included one individual and one legal entity less. It is currently unknown who exactly was removed.<\/p>\n

All 826 companies on the list are part of the Russian government’s list of military-industrial complex enterprises, some of which receive state support.<\/p>\n

Individuals were included in the list mainly because they manage such enterprises. The European Union believes that in this way they contribute to the work of the Russian military-industrial complex.<\/p>\n

Among the enterprises whose leaders were included in the draft sanctions are manufacturers of missile systems, warships and submarines, aviation equipment, electronics, and other defense products.<\/p>\n

In particular, the documents mention the heads of the Mechanical Engineering Design Bureau, Sevmash, the Central Design Bureau of Marine Engineering Rubin, Malachite, Admiralty Shipyards, and the Zvezdochka ship repair center.<\/p>\n

Separately, EU ambassadors agreed on sanctions against 77 people<\/strong> whom Russia declared elected to the State Duma from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The European Union has also extended its sanctions regime related to the proliferation and use of chemical weapons. It currently imposes restrictions on 31 individuals and six organizations<\/strong> .<\/p>\n

Once the formal procedure is completed and the decisions are published in the Official Journal of the EU, the new sanctions will include an asset freeze and a ban on providing funds or other economic resources to the sanctioned individuals and companies. For individuals, there will also be a ban on entry into and transit through the EU.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, today it was reported that EU ambassadors approved over 1,500 new sanctions positions<\/a> . The new data specifies the composition of the list and the categories of enterprises and managers that will be covered by the restrictions.<\/p>\n

Also today, the EU is preparing to remove two Russian businessmen from the sanctions list<\/a> .<\/p>\n
