EU Adds 1,569 Names to Russia’s Military-Industry Sanctions List

Описание: On 12 October 2026, the Council of the European Union adopted 1,569 new Russia military-industry listings: 826 companies and 743 executives. We explain what the measures target, how asset freezes and travel bans work, and why a large listing count does not yet prove a measured drop in weapons output.

A separate same-day EU measure listed 77 people over Russian elections in occupied Ukrainian territory; that measure is outside the 1,569 figure. Reporting cutoff: 13 October 2026.
