The European Union has adopted its 21st package of restrictive measures against Russia, introducing further measures targeting the financial sector, crypto-assets, the energy industry, and the so-called shadow fleet, while reinforcing its focus on sanctions enforcement and anti-circumvention.

Businesses should ensure that their governance frameworks, due diligence procedures, and risk assessments continue to evolve in line with an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

A more detailed legal analysis of the new measures and their practical implications will follow shortly.
