“Sweden has been a driving force in establishing a new sanctions regime in connection with Russia’s destabilising activities. This is a concrete step the EU is now taking in response to Russian hybrid activity. This means establishing a sanctions regime directed at those who are responsible for, support or benefit from Russian’s hybrid activity in the EU and globally,” says Minister for Foreign Affairs Maria Malmer Stenergard.
[. . .]
The new restrictive measures are aimed at natural or legal persons, entities or bodies that are responsible for carrying out or supporting policies or actions by the Russian Government that undermine or threaten:
- the EU’s fundamental values and its security, independence and integrity;
- the Member States’ and international organisations’ or third countries’ stability, security or independence; or
- the sovereignty of Member States and third countries.
These restrictive measures are targeted and include the freezing of assets and prohibition to make funds available, including travel bans for individuals entering or through the European Union’s territory.
