Brussels, 03/10/2025 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 3 October, the EU Council decided to extend by one year, until 9 October 2026, the individual restrictive measures against those responsible for Russia’s destabilising actions abroad, “in light of Russia’s continued hybrid activities, including Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference against the EU and its Member States and partners”. These measures currently apply to 47 individuals and 15 entities whose assets are frozen and who are banned from travelling in the EU. EU citizens and companies are forbidden from making funds, financial assets or economic resources available to them. This sanctions regime was established on 8 October 2024 (see EUROPE 13499/26). (CG)
