EU Envoys Agree on November 11 to Add 145 Russia Sanctions Listings: Including 50 Russian Banks, Foreign Ministers to Adopt Them on Monday
European Union envoys meeting in the Committee of Permanent Representatives in Brussels on November 11 preliminarily agreed a new round of Russia sanctions designations targeting 145 entities and individuals involved in Russia's financial system, shadow fleet network and misinformation campaigns, EU diplomats said. EU foreign ministers are expected to adopt the listings at a meeting on Monday, before they become law in the EU's Official Journal.
Under the EU's main regime covering actions undermining Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence, envoys agreed to add 113 entities and individuals, comprising 12 individuals and 101 legal entities, including 50 Russian banks, enablers of Russia's shadow fleet, energy companies and additional Russian business leaders, according to an EU diplomat cited by Ukrainian media. The main regime currently carries around 4,500 designations.
Under the separate regime for Russia's hybrid activities, envoys agreed to add 31 entities and individuals, comprising 30 individuals and one company, involved in foreign manipulation. Any decision on sanctioning Russia requires unanimous support from all 27 member states, which has caused repeated delays and last-minute compromises in earlier rounds.
