On June 24, the EU adopted new measures against Russia as part of the fourteenth package of sanctions. For its part, Switzerland imposes sanctions within its jurisdiction on another 69 individuals and 86 legal entities.
The new sanctions target entrepreneurs, propagandists, members of the armed forces and judiciary, those responsible for the deportation of Ukrainian children, and FSB officers.
The newly sanctioned entities include, among others, companies operating in the Russian defense sector, as well as companies in the financial and trade sectors that are actively involved in circumventing sanctions.
In total, more than 2,200 individuals and legal entities were included in the sanctions lists.
