“In view of the gravity of the situation, on February 25, 2022, the Council adopted a decision imposing new sanctions on various sectors of the Russian economy, in particular defense, energy, aviation and financial,” the EU Council said.

Sectoral measures will be introduced against Russian Railways, Sukhoi, Tupolev, Kamaz, Progress Rocket and Space Center, Kalashnikov, Almaz-Antey, Uralvagonzavod, Sevkomflot and Sevmash. They will be prohibited from accessing the capital market and any type of financial services in the EU. In addition, trade with them in military or dual-use products will be banned.

Also, the sanctions lists included 64 key structures of Russia, including the presidential administration, the Ministry of Defense, the Foreign Intelligence Service and other state organizations.
