The European Union Is Imposing New, Sweeping Sanctions Against Russia

The European Union Is Imposing New, Sweeping Sanctions Against Russia

The date has been announced.

On November 16, 2026, the European Union’s Foreign Affairs Council will approve new sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. The French Foreign Minister X Jean-Noël Barrot, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced this.

EU ambassadors tentatively agreed on new sanctions against Russia at a meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives on Wednesday, November 11.

The special measures imposed by European countries will target 145 individuals and entities involved in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia’s occupying forces. In addition, legal entities and individuals involved in cyberattacks and hybrid warfare on the Old Continent will be added to the sanctions lists.

In particular, 50 Russian banks will be subject to the new European sanctions. New measures will also be taken against ships in Russia’s “shadow fleet,” which help Moscow circumvent the special economic measures previously imposed by Western countries.
