THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Article 2 Article 2

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 2014/145/CFSP of 17 March 2014 concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of UkraineOJ L 78, 17.3.2014, p. 16 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2014/145(1)/oj. ,

Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,

OJ L 78, 17.3.2014, p. 16 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2014/145(1)/oj.

(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 of 17 March 2014 concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine (OJ L 78, 17.3.2014, p. 6 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2014/269/oj). gives effect to restrictive measures provided for in Decision 2014/145/CFSP.

(2) On 23 October 2025 , the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2025/2036Council Decision (CFSP) 2025/2036 of 23 October 2025 amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine (OJ L, 2025/2036, 23.10.2025, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2025/2036/oj). , amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP.

(3) Decision (CFSP) 2025/2036 introduces an additional criterion for the listing of natural or legal persons, entities or bodies responsible for, supporting or implementing actions or policies contributing to the deportation, forced transfer, forced assimilation, including indoctrination, or militarised education of Ukrainian minors.

(4) Decision (CFSP) 2025/2036 also extends to two listed insurance companies the existing derogation related to payments constituting an indemnity or benefit provided further to the materialisation of a risk.

(5) These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and therefore, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary.

(6) It is appropriate to harmonise terminology across Union legal acts and thereby ensure consistent application of Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 and its alignment with other Union restrictive measures frameworks. Such coherence is essential to avoid ambiguity, enhance legal certainty and ensure the effectiveness of Union restrictive measures across various sanctions regimes. It is therefore appropriate to include in Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 definitions of owning and controlling a legal person, entity or body, to align with the definitions used in Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 of 27 December 2001 on specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism (OJ L 344, 28.12.2001, p. 70 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2001/2580/oj). .

(7) It is also appropriate to clarify the provision on the freezing of funds and economic resources of listed persons and the prohibition on making funds and economic resources available to such persons.

(8) Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly,

All funds and economic resources belonging to, owned, held or controlled by any natural or legal persons, entities or bodies listed in Annex I shall be frozen.

No funds or economic resources shall be made available, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of natural or legal persons, entities or bodies listed in Annex I.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .
