EU Extends Individual Russia Sanctions for 6 Months

The Council of the European Union on Sept. 12 extended its individual sanctions, imposed in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, for another six months, pushing them to March 15. The restrictions cover over 2,500 individuals and entities that were targeted "in response to Russia’s ongoing unjustified and unprovoked military aggression against Ukraine." The council also decided not to renew the listings for one individual and to remove one "deceased person" from the restrictions.
