The new sanctions package imposed by the European Union includes the ports of Murmansk and Tuapse. This came in a statement to the Council of the European Union.
The list also includes the oil terminal in the Indonesian port of Karimun and 46 ships that the European Union links to the “Shadow Fleet.” In addition, from January 2027, the EU ban on the provision of LNG terminal services to Russian organizations will enter into force.
In total, the 20th round of European sanctions also hinders transactions involving 20 Russian banks, and also blocks deals with four financial institutions that the EU says helped Moscow circumvent the restrictions.
“The European Union imposes sanctions on a Kyrgyz entity operating an exchange where large amounts of the state-backed A7A5 stablecoin are traded,” the statement read.
In addition, as part of the new package, a complete ban was imposed on transactions with Russian cryptocurrency services, including decentralized platforms. The restrictions also affect digital financial instruments, including the digital ruble project.
The comprehensive sanctions package includes 120 individuals and legal entities, subject to asset freezes and bans on providing financial services. 36 of these positions are linked to the Russian energy sector and the “shadow fleet,” and 56 are linked to the Russian military-industrial complex, including 17 facilities in third countries, it says.

European Union ambassadors approved a loan worth 90 billion euros on the same day. The Europeans agreed not to use funds provided by Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, which did not support the loan idea, as the remaining $90 billion would cover the remaining 24 countries in the association.
