The European Union has adopted the 19th package of sanctions against Russia. The new package of sanctions substantially increases the pressure on the Russian war economy, targeting key sectors such as energy, finance, the military industrial base, special economic zones, as well as enablers and profiteers of its war of aggression. Sanctions include an introduction of a total ban on Russian Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and a further clamp-down on the shadow fleet. Measures also target financial services and infrastructure (including for the first time crypto), as well as trade, the services sector, and strengthen anti-circumvention tools.
