Rozhodnutí Rady (SZBP) 2025/931 ze dne 20. května 2025, kterým se mění rozhodnutí 2014/512/SZBP o omezujících opatřeních vzhledem k činnostem Ruska destabilizujícím situaci na Ukrajině

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,

The Annexes to Decision 2014/512/CFSP are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

Council Decision 2014/512/CFSP of 31 July 2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine (OJ L 229, 31.7.2014, p. 13 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2014/512/oj).

(1) On 31 July 2014 , the Council adopted Decision 2014/512/CFSPCouncil Decision 2014/512/CFSP of 31 July 2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine (OJ L 229, 31.7.2014, p. 13 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2014/512/oj). .

(2) The Union remains unwavering in its support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

(3) In its conclusions of 19 December 2024 , the European Council reiterated its resolute condemnation of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which constitutes a manifest violation of the Charter of the United Nations, and reaffirmed the Union’s unwavering commitment to providing continued political, financial, economic, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support to Ukraine and its people.

(4) As long as the illegal actions by the Russian Federation continue to violate fundamental rules of international law, including, in particular, the prohibition on the use of force enshrined in Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations, or of international humanitarian law, it is appropriate to maintain in force all the measures imposed by the Union and to take additional measures, if necessary.

(5) In view of the gravity of the situation, it is appropriate to adopt further restrictive measures.

(6) It is appropriate to add 31 new entities to the list of natural or legal persons, entities or bodies set out in Annex IV to Decision 2014/512/CFSP, namely the list of persons, entities and bodies supporting Russia’s military and industrial complex in its war of aggression against Ukraine, on which tighter export restrictions regarding dual-use goods and technology, as well as goods and technology which might contribute to the technological enhancement of Russia’s defence and security sector, are imposed. In addition, it is justified to include on that list certain entities in third countries other than Russia that indirectly contribute to Russia’s military and technological enhancement thereby enabling the circumvention of export restrictions, including on unmanned aerial vehicles or computer numerical control machine tools.

(7) It is appropriate to expand the list of items which might contribute to Russia’s military and technological enhancement or to the development of its defence and security sector by listing items which have been used by Russia in its war of aggression against Ukraine and items which contribute to the development or production of its military systems, including chemical precursors to energetic materials and spare parts for machine tools.

(8) Russia is becoming increasingly reliant on energy revenues to fund its illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. In order to further constrain the activity of vessels that are part of the shadow fleet of oil tankers or that contribute to Russia’s energy revenues, it is also appropriate to add 189 vessels to the list of vessels set out in Annex XVI to Decision 2014/512/CFSP, which are banned from accessing Member States’ ports and locks, as well as from receiving a broad range of services related to maritime transport.

(9) It is appropriate to extend the duration of an exemption from the oil price cap which allows, in view of energy security concerns, the transport, by vessel, of crude oil originating in the Sakhalin-2 Project in Russia to Japan.

(10) Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures.

(11) Decision 2014/512/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,

This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .
