The EU has agreed on a 21st package of sanctions against Russia
She wrote about this on social media platform X.
According to the President, a further 32 Russian banks will be added to the list of institutions subject to a ban on financial transactions. The sanctions will also apply to cryptocurrency companies and oil trading platforms.
In addition, the EU is establishing a price cap mechanism on Russian oil for one year. Sanctions will also be introduced for the first time against vessels assisting the Russian shadow fleet. Von der Leyen also stated that “the EU has taken an important step towards an official ban on Russian military personnel entering the EU”.
It should be recalled that von der Leyen presented the 21st package of sanctions against Russia back in early June. The previous, 20th package of sanctions against Russia was approved on 23 April 2026. It was the most extensive in the last two years and covered the energy sector, the shadow fleet, the military-industrial complex, and the trade and finance sectors. Sanctions were also imposed on 60 companies and 120 individuals.
