Since March 2014, the EU has progressively imposed restrictive measures on Russia in response to:

the illegal annexation of Crimea
Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine
the illegal annexation of Ukraine's Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions

The measures are designed to weaken Russia's economic base, depriving it of critical technologies and markets and significantly curtailing its ability to wage war.

EU restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine now apply to almost 1800 individuals and entities altogether. The list of sanctioned persons and entities is kept under constant review and is subject to periodic renewals by the Council.
