            COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2026/1939
         
of 7 August 2026
         
amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of 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 17 March 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/145/CFSP (1).












(2)


In its conclusions of 18 and 19 June 2026, the European Council reaffirmed its continued firm and unwavering support for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. The European Council stated that the Union will continue to provide, in coordination with like-minded partners and allies, comprehensive political, financial, economic, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support to Ukraine and its people. The European Council strongly condemned the recent serious escalation by Russia, including large-scale missile and drone attacks against civilians in Ukraine. The European Council also expressed the Union’s readiness to step up pressure on Russia, including by adopting further sanctions.












(3)


In view of Russia’s continued and escalating aggression against Ukraine, and in particular its recent brutal military campaign deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, which has caused severe suffering to the civilian population and which aims to undermine Ukraine’s resilience, the Council considers it necessary to adopt further restrictive measures.












(4)


In particular, the Council considers that five persons should be added to the list of persons, entities and bodies subject to restrictive measures set out in the Annex to Decision 2014/145/CFSP.












(5)


Decision 2014/145/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
The Annex to Decision 2014/145/CFSP is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.


Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.




Done at Brussels, 7 August 2026.


For the Council


The President

T. BYRNE
