European Commission proposes 21st Russia sanctions package including EU entry ban for Russian servicemen
The Facts
- The European Commission presented a proposed 21st package of EU sanctions against Russia.
- The proposal includes, for the first time, an EU entry ban for people who have served in the Russian armed forces since the start of the war in Ukraine.
- The proposed sanctions package targets the energy sector, financial services and crypto-related activity.
- The package would, for the first time, include measures aimed at Russia’s fisheries sector.
- Part of the proposal is intended to limit Russia’s oil revenue, including measures tied to the oil price cap and additional action against vessels used to move Russian oil outside sanctions channels.
- The proposed measures still need approval from EU member states before they can take effect, so the package can still be amended.
How left and right are reading this
- Both agree
- The package marks a further escalation of EU pressure on Russia through broader sanctions, with new tools aimed at constraining revenue and imposing additional consequences tied to the war rather than leaving existing measures static.
- They split on
- Less a disagreement than a question of emphasis: the widening moral and economic reach of sanctions across sectors and people tied to the war, versus the practical test of whether tighter oil and evasion measures will survive member-state approval.
