A proposal for the 12th package of sanctions was submitted to the Council by the High Representative of the EU, Josep Borrell, and the European Commission.

They recommend imposing sanctions on more than 120 additional individuals and entities for their role in undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Also, the High Representative and the Commission propose the introduction of new import and export bans, as well as actions to strengthen the oil price ceiling and deal with the circumvention of EU sanctions.

Proposals for listing include actors from the Russian military, defense and IT sectors, as well as other major economic players.

The proposed measures target those who orchestrated the recent illegal so-called “elections” in Ukrainian territories temporarily occupied by Russia, those responsible for the forced “re-education” of Ukrainian children, and those who contribute to disinformation and propaganda.

Finally, it is pointed out that the proposals aim to strengthen the sanctions framework as a whole.
