On 23 April 2026, the European Union<\/span><\/span> adopted its 20th package of sanctions against Russia, further strengthening the existing sanctions regime.<\/p>\n

The new package introduces wide-ranging measures affecting energy, the military-industrial complex, trade, financial services, and crypto-assets. It significantly expands both the number of designated persons and the scope of restricted activities.<\/p>\n

The package also extends restrictive measures further to Belarus.<\/p>\n

e) review contracts and internal procedures to ensure full compliance.<\/p>\n
