            COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2026/1849
         
of 23 July 2026
         
amending Decision 2014/512/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine


THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and in particular Article 29 thereof,


Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Whereas:







(1)


On 31 July 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/512/CFSP (1).












(2)


The Union remains unwavering in its support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.












(3)


In its Resolution ES-11/7, adopted on 24 February 2025, the United Nations General Assembly recalled the need for full implementation of its relevant resolutions adopted in response to the aggression against Ukraine, in particular its demand that the Russian Federation immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw all of its military forces from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders, and its demand for an immediate cessation of the hostilities by the Russian Federation against Ukraine, in particular of any attacks against civilians and civilian objects.












(4)


As long as the illegal actions by the Russian Federation continue to violate fundamental rules of international law, including, in particular, the prohibition on the use of force enshrined in Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations, or of international humanitarian law, it is appropriate to maintain in force all the measures imposed by the Union and to take additional measures, if necessary.












(5)


In view of the continued and escalating aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine, in particular the recent brutal military campaign deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, including energy, water and health facilities, which has caused severe suffering to the civilian population and seeks to undermine Ukraine’s resilience, the Council considers it necessary to adopt further restrictive measures.












(6)


In particular, it is appropriate to amend derogations in order to ensure the continued provision of goods and services required to uphold internet infrastructure in Russia for the general public.












(7)


It is justified to add 51 entities to Annex IV to Decision 2014/512/CFSP. Those entities form part of Russia’s military and industrial complex, or have commercial or other links with or otherwise support Russia’s military and industrial complex or its defence and security sector. Tighter export restrictions regarding1 dual-use goods and technology, as well as regarding goods and technology which might contribute to the technological enhancement of Russia’s defence and security sector, are imposed on those entities. It is appropriate to add to that Annex entities in third countries other than Russia that indirectly contribute to Russia’s military and technological enhancement thereby enabling the circumvention of Union restrictive measures or frustrating their purpose, including Union restrictive measures on microelectronics, computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine tools and equipment for semiconductor processing.












(8)


It is appropriate to expand the list of items which might contribute to Russia’s military and technological enhancement or to the development of its defence and security sector, by listing items which have been used by Russia in its war of aggression against Ukraine and items which contribute to the development or production of its military systems, including: nickel powders, nickel metal and alloys of nickel used in corrosion-resistant coatings in jet engines; beryllium powders used in propellants and in high performance alloys; self-adhesive films, tapes and strips used in the aerospace and defence sectors; aviation items specific to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as ground support equipment; jamming/interception systems, launch systems and servomotors; and flight termination systems for UAVs or missiles.












(9)


It is also appropriate to introduce further restrictions on imports of goods which generate significant revenues for Russia, thereby enabling the continuation of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, including restrictions on copper ores, nickel ores, lead ores, precious-metals ores, unwrought zinc, alkaline-earth metals, certain inorganic chemicals (zinc oxides and chromium oxides), tall oil, glassware and car parts.












(10)


It is appropriate to introduce two derogations to enable national competent authorities to dispose safely of Russian oil cargos they seize and confiscate. To that end, two derogations are introduced to enable relevant operations, such as import, transfer, storage, management and sale.












(11)


It is appropriate to introduce a possibility for the competent authorities to authorise, pursuant to strict conditions, importers to not provide evidence of the country of origin of the crude oil as regards the supply of petroleum products obtained in a third country to the outermost regions and overseas countries and territories associated with the Union, without requiring proof of origin, given the specific geographic characteristics of those territories and their supply constraints.












(12)


It is appropriate to extend the duration of an exemption from the oil price cap which allows, in view of energy security concerns, the transport, by vessel, of crude oil originating in the Sakhalin-2 Project in Russia to Japan.












(13)


It is justified to introduce a suspension of the amendment of the crude oil price cap. Council Decision (CFSP) 2025/1495 (2) provided for a procedure to modify the price cap for Russian crude oil depending on the average market price of Russian crude oil. As indicated in that Decision, that procedure is intended to ensure that the crude oil price cap is sufficiently low at all times to reduce Russia’s revenues from oil exports, taking into account previous price fluctuations. Given the recent exceptional disturbances in the markets for crude oil and petroleum products, and to ensure that the crude oil price cap remains effective in achieving its objectives, it is appropriate to suspend the amendment of that price cap. At the same time, it is appropriate to provide for an interim review of that suspension to ensure that the mechanism remains necessary and proportionate taking into consideration market developments. It should be possible for the Council to decide to amend the price cap after that interim review. In the absence of a decision by the Council, the applicable price cap will remain in place. From 15 July 2027, the application of the original procedure to amend the price cap will resume, with the publication on that date of a notice by the Commission with the new price cap and the amendment of Annex XXVIII to Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 (3) in accordance with Article 4p(12) of Decision 2014/512/CFSP and with Article 3n(11) and Article 7a of Regulation (EU) No 833/2014.












(14)


It is appropriate to introduce an exemption from the prohibition to transfer and to provide technical assistance, brokering services or financing or financial assistance, related to the transfer to third countries of liquefied natural gas (LNG) which originates in or is exported from Russia. That exemption aims to mitigate adverse consequences for the energy supply of certain partner countries.












(15)


Council Decision (CFSP) 2025/2032 (4) amended Decision 2014/512/CFSP in order to introduce a prohibition on the purchase, import or transfer, directly or indirectly, of liquefied natural gas (LNG) originating in or exported from Russia. That prohibition applies to purchases and transfers into the Union and to third countries.












(16)


It is appropriate to introduce a temporary exemption with regard to the transfer or purchase related to that transfer of LNG originating in or exported from Russia, where such transfer or purchase related to that transfer is destined for third countries. In order to ensure that the temporary exemption does not undermine the objectives of the Union’s restrictive measures, that provision should explicitly lay down a rule that the overall capacity of Russian LNG transferred by Union operators to third countries under the temporary exemption does not exceed the yearly volume of LNG originating in or exported from Russia in 2025, thereby avoiding any increase in the export revenues Russia derives from such transfers. In order to ensure that the temporary exemption continues to serve the objectives of the Union’s restrictive measures, taking into account developments affecting Union operators, the Commission should periodically assess the measures and submit its assessment to the Council. On the basis of that assessment, the Council should review the functioning of the temporary exemption and, where appropriate, be able to decide to shorten, extend or terminate it.












(17)


To ensure legal certainty and the orderly phasing out of activities covered by Decision 2014/512/CFSP, it is appropriate to clarify that the temporary exemption concerning purchases and transfers of LNG destined for third countries should apply only where a purchase is related to a transfer executed by a Union operator. Such transfer should be carried out on the basis of a long-term contract for the supply of LNG, excluding natural gas derivatives, the duration of which exceeds one year, which was concluded before 24 February 2022 and which has not been amended after that date other than for the limited purposes permitted under Decision 2014/512/CFSP. In addition, the purchase related to that transfer should itself be executed under a long-term contract exceeding one year, concluded before 24 February 2022 and not amended after that date other than for those same limited purposes. Such long-term contract generally must contain all the necessary elements for its validity and the execution of a transaction, such as indication of the parties, price, quantities, delivery dates, point of loading or delivery, modalities of execution. Contracts that regarding such elements require a further agreement between contracting parties do not fall under the temporary exemption, with the exception of amendments regarding the limited purposes expressly permitted under this Decision, for example concerning operational procedures such as annual delivery programs or any other similar routine operational adjustments. Changes to such elements based on unilateral contractual clauses that cannot be opposed by the other contracting party do not preclude the applicability of the temporary exemption. All other purchases not linked to a specific transfer by a Union operator should be prohibited from 1 January 2027. Since, from that date, such purchases can no longer be lawfully made unless they remain connected to transfers by Union operators falling within the conditions of the temporary exemption, it is clear that the resulting impossibility of performance can be invoked as force majeure for the purpose of terminating existing contractual obligations to the extent that those obligations cannot continue to be performed in relation to transfers executed by Union operators.












(18)


As regards the prohibition on providing LNG terminal services, it is also appropriate to further refine the scope of application of that prohibition.












(19)


The Union has already adopted vessel-specific designations in order to curb operations of the relevant vessels. Such operations might rely on the provision by third-country vessels of services such as bunkering, tug services and ship-to-ship transfers. In order to address and discourage the provision of such services, it is appropriate to enlarge the scope of the designation criteria to encompass the vessels providing such services. It is also appropriate to introduce additional designations of vessels.












(20)


Russia derives significant revenues from the sale of oil. It is appropriate to introduce a prohibition on any transaction with refineries in Russia and in third countries other than Russia used for the processing or refining of crude oil or the processing or blending of petroleum products, as listed in Annex XIII to Decision 2014/512/CFSP, or of mineral products, that originate in Russia or refineries used for the circumvention of restrictive measures. Such transactions include access to facilities of the listed refineries and the provision of any services. It is appropriate to identify one refinery under those listing criteria and to add it to the relevant Annex to Decision (CFSP) 2014/512.












(21)


It is appropriate to clarify the scope of the derogation as regards transactions in connection with the natural gas pipelines Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2, with regard to the completion, operation, maintenance or use of those pipelines.












(22)


The Union has already adopted measures to restrict Russia’s LNG exports-related revenues. Such exports rely on the availability of LNG tankers and it is therefore important to curtail the possibility for Russia to gather and use LNG tankers. To that end, it is appropriate to introduce a notification obligation for the sale of LNG tankers and a possibility to introduce new restrictions on the sale of LNG tankers so that those tankers do not benefit Russian interests.












(23)


The Union has repeatedly taken measures to identify financial institutions, credit institutions or entities providing crypto-asset services or payment services that facilitate a continued financial lifeline for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, whether by connecting to the system for transfer of financial messages of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation or by enabling the circumvention of Union restrictive measures, and to prohibit any transaction between those institutions or entities and Union operators. Evidence shows that entities in third countries continue to enable Russia to carry out illicit activities. It is therefore appropriate to list 4 financial entities and 14 entities providing crypto-asset services in the relevant Annexes to Decision 2014/512/CFSP, with a view to prohibiting transactions between them and persons located in the Union. In addition, it is appropriate to remove one entity from Annex XVIII to Decision 2014/512/CFSP. It is also appropriate to add five entities to the list of third-country legal persons, entities or bodies significantly frustrating the purpose of the prohibitions set out in Articles 4o, 4p and 4x of Decision 2014/512/CFSP.












(24)


It is justified to extend the prohibition for Russian nationals or natural persons residing in Russia to own or control, or to hold any posts in the governing bodies of, certain legal persons, entities or bodies which are incorporated or constituted under the law of a Member State, so that the prohibition applies to any entity which is providing crypto-asset services, as defined in Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).












(25)


In order to maintain access to crypto-asset service providers and platforms after Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/508 (6) and Council Regulation (EU) 2026/506 (7) prohibited engaging with any such providers and platforms established in Russia, banks and other persons in Russia, including listed banks, are making use of platforms that are established in third countries other than Russia. A number of those crypto-asset platforms have been listed under Decision 2014/512/CFSP and Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 for significantly frustrating those acts or for significantly frustrating Council Decision 2014/145/CFSP (8) and Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 (9).












(26)


In order to address such circumvention of the Union’s restrictive measures through third-country jurisdictions, it is appropriate to introduce the possibility to prohibit all transactions with legal persons, entities or bodies that are entities providing crypto-asset services or are platforms enabling the exchange or transfer of crypto-assets and that are established in the third countries specified in the relevant Annex to Decision 2014/512/CFSP.












(27)


In view of the gravity of the situation, it is justified to add 33 credit or financial institutions to the list of legal persons, entities or bodies subject to a transaction ban. The transaction ban applies to certain Russian credit or financial institutions or other entities, including those subscribing to financial messaging services, or to Russian subsidiaries of third-country credit or financial institutions, which are relevant for the Russian financial and banking system, notably because they are either large or important regional banks, which consequently facilitate regional and federal finances and business, or banks which facilitate cross-border payments, or which are relevant for the Russian aggression against Ukraine, notably because they are banks which undermine the territorial integrity of Ukraine by operating in the occupied territories of Ukraine, or by providing financial services over the occupied territories of Ukraine, or banks which offer financial services to military personnel in the Russian armed forces, or banks which are already the subject of restrictive measures imposed by the Union or by partner countries.












(28)


It is appropriate to introduce a derogation to allow competent authorities to authorise nationals of Member States or of countries of the European Economic Area or Switzerland to withdraw funds they hold at certain credit and financial institutions and entities providing crypto-asset services or payment services which are subject to a prohibition on engaging in any transactions, in order to terminate their operations, contracts or other agreements with the relevant institution or entity. Examples of such termination include where the natural person closes his or her accounts or withdraws all the funds he or she holds at the relevant entity and does not further establish or maintain any contractual relations with the relevant entity. In order to mitigate the risk of circumvention, funds should be transferred to credit or financial institutions incorporated under the law of a Member State or owned or controlled by credit or financial institutions incorporated under the law of a Member State. That exception is without prejudice to the prohibition on operators in the Union providing financial messaging services to the entities listed in Annexes VIII, XVIII and XIX to Decision 2014/512/CFSP. Therefore, that exception is not to be interpreted as enabling the competent authority to authorise the provision of such services.












(29)


It is also appropriate to introduce a narrowly circumscribed derogation to allow the execution of transactions with a specific entity listed under entry number 4 in Annex XVIII to Decision 2014/512/CFSP only if necessary for the payment of a consideration due to a credit institution established in the Union carried out on the basis of a put option right contractually agreed and duly exercised before 28 February 2022. That derogation does not undermine the general objectives of Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, and is justified solely by the need to address an unintended adverse consequence for a Union operator. In line with the position of the Union, that derogation should not authorise the provision of a specialised financial messaging service, which should remain prohibited under any circumstance.












(30)


Third countries have adopted restrictive measures similar to those relating to travel through the Union by Russian diplomats and consular officers, as well as members of the administrative, technical or service staff of Russia’s diplomatic missions or consular posts, or their family members. It is thus appropriate to extend the sharing of information with those third countries on possible breaches of the relevant restrictive measures.












(31)


It is appropriate to introduce a targeted exception to the prohibition to provide services directly related to tourism in Russia.












(32)


It is appropriate to introduce a targeted derogation for specific research institutions from the existing prohibition on the acceptance of financing, donations or any other economic benefits or support from Russia, whether directly or indirectly, to cover existing obligations, for example for the operation, maintenance, modernisation or construction of the research institutions concerned.












(33)


Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine has had widespread implications, including an aggravation of the risks and threats faced by the Union to its values, fundamental interests and security and public order. Many combatants who have participated in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, whether serving in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or in affiliated paramilitary groups, are returning from the front to Russia or relocating to third countries. Many of those combatants were previously convicted and were recruited from Russian prisons and sent to the front. Those combatants were radicalised by Russian tactics, have witnessed atrocities against the Ukrainian population or have participated in war crimes themselves. With their background and indoctrination, those individuals present a general risk of violent crime. If allowed to travel or relocate to Europe, they could become involved with organised crime or extremist movements or become agents of hostile operations. In view of Russia’s wider hybrid warfare strategies, those individuals could be used as defenders of Russia’s rhetoric on its war of aggression against Ukraine or become involved in spreading disinformation both about the reasons for the full-scale invasion and about Russia’s conduct in the war. Thus, the presence of those individuals in the Union constitutes a threat to the Union’s values, its fundamental interests and its security, as well as to the public policy or to the internal security or international relations of one or more Member States or of the Union as a whole. In the context of Russia’s ongoing war of aggression, its continuous escalation and the related Council Decisions introducing measures to reduce economic and financial relations with Russia adopted since 24 February 2022, it is appropriate to impose an obligation on Member States to refuse the issuance of short-stay visas to individuals serving, or having served, since 24 February 2022, in active duty in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, or in any paramilitary, military-affiliated or irregular armed group associated with, controlled by or acting at the direction of the Russian government, with a view to contributing to preserving peace, preventing conflict and strengthening international security. In order to ensure the proportionality of that measure and that decisions are taken on the basis of individual conduct, it is appropriate that that ban should be applied only to those who have directly contributed to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine through combat operations. In order to facilitate uniform application of that ban by consular authorities, it is appropriate to defer its application until a Decision of the Council is taken once the actions necessary for its implementation have been taken. Consistent with the fundamental rights and freedoms recognised in the Charter of Fundamental Rights, in particular with the right to respect for the private and family life as recognised in Article 7 thereof, that ban should not apply in cases where a Member State considers that entry or transit through its territory is required for humanitarian purposes, for reasons of national interest or because of international obligations, and should not apply to applicants who are dissidents of or defectors from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or any paramilitary, military-affiliated or irregular armed group associated with, controlled by or acting at the direction of the Russian government. In such cases, a visa with limited territorial validity should be issued.












(34)


Russian legislation and court practice enable persons to lodge a claim before certain Russian courts, which then assert jurisdiction over disputes and render judgments condemning Union companies in relation to contracts or transactions affected by Union restrictive measures. Accordingly, evidence shows that Russian persons, entities or bodies, or persons, entities or bodies acting through or on behalf of one of those Russian persons, entities or bodies, or owned or controlled by such persons, entities or bodies, seek or might seek to initiate and pursue legal proceedings in connection with measures imposed under Decisions 2014/145/CFSP and 2014/512/CFSP and Regulations (EU) No 269/2014 and (EU) No 833/2014, or seek or might seek to obtain recognition or enforcement of judgments granted through such legal proceedings. In order to preserve the effectiveness of Union restrictive measures, it is necessary for the Union to take action to mitigate the effect of such practices, by requiring Member States to not recognise or enforce any injunction, order, relief, judgment or other court or administrative decision given by a Russian court or authority in connection with any contract or transaction the performance of which has been affected, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by the measures imposed under Decisions 2014/145/CFSP and 2014/512/CFSP and Regulations (EU) No 269/2014 and (EU) No 833/2014.












(35)


It is appropriate to extend the deadlines applicable to certain derogations needed for divestments from Russia. Operators should be aware that Russia is a country where the rule of law is no longer applied, and that the Russian Federation has adopted several pieces of legislation targeting assets of companies from so-called ‘unfriendly countries’, including Member States. That situation has led to the persistent threat of Union assets being stranded in Russia without the possibility for their orderly withdrawal. Against that background, undertakings in the Union are strongly advised to take any possible steps to wind down businesses in Russia and not to start new businesses there. Unfortunately, new legislation, court judgments and practices in Russia have made it even more difficult for Union operators to perform an orderly withdrawal from the Russian market. It is therefore appropriate to extend divestment derogations to enable Union undertakings to exit as swiftly as possible from the Russian market. Those extended derogations are granted on a case-by-case basis by Member States and are focused on allowing an orderly divestment process, which would not be possible without the extension of those deadlines.












(36)


Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures.












(37)


Decision 2014/512/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,
