  • •EU plans to sanction 145 entities, including 50 Russian banks.
  • •Inconsistent enforcement of existing sanctions undermines their effectiveness.
  • •New sanctions target hybrid warfare and cyber activities linked to Russia.

The European Union is set to impose new sanctions on 145 individuals and entities linked to Russia's actions in Ukraine and cyberattacks, with a final decision expected on November 16, 2026. This includes 50 Russian banks and various companies supporting Russia's shadow fleet. The sanctions aim to address violations of Ukraine's territorial integrity and hybrid warfare activities. However, a recent report from the European Court of Auditors highlighted inconsistent enforcement of existing sanctions across member states, undermining their effectiveness. The report emphasized the need for clearer legal drafting and better monitoring of sanctions implementation. Despite the sanctions, trade between the EU and Russia remains significant, with indirect shipments through third countries complicating enforcement efforts.
