Under the new package of sanctions, the EU banned re-export of Russian liquefied natural gas through European ports and private air travel for Russian individuals, companies and agencies, as well as prohibited European political parties and media from receiving funding from Russia. More than a hundred individuals and legal entities were added to the sanctions list.
What was included in the 14th package of EU sanctions:
- 116 more individuals and entities were added to the sanctions list; 61 more companies were added to the sanctions list that the EU believes are helping to circumvent the restrictions. Some of these companies are located in China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey and the UAE.
- A ban on the transit of Russian liquefied natural gas through European ports;
- A ban on the use of the "Financial Messaging System" that the Central Bank developed to circumvent the restrictions. In addition, the EU Council imposed a ban on transactions with banks and cryptocurrency exchanges that facilitate transactions with the Russian military-industrial complex;
- A ban on transactions with targeted financial institutions and providers of cryptocurrency assets that fund Russia's defense;
- The EU banned its airlines from operating charters and private flights around the world on behalf of individuals and companies from Russia;
- A ban on the export of Ukrainian cultural property suspected of being illegally exported from the country;
- Political parties and media companies in Europe will be banned from receiving money from Russia.
- Restrictions have been imposed on accepting applications for registration of certain intellectual property rights in the EU from Russians and Russian companies.
- Restrictions have been imposed on the "shadow" Russian fleet, with 27 vessels falling under them.
Immediately after the announcement of the sanctions, half an hour after the start of trading, the Moscow Exchange website stopped updating. It is not yet reported what caused it, but the site was restored an hour later.
Recall that on June 12, the U.S. imposed sanctions against Mosbirzhi, after which the trading floor stopped exchange trading in dollars and euros. The Central Bank announced that transactions with these currencies will continue to be made on the over-the-counter market.
