"This morning, Russian cruelty struck again, killing men, women and children in the city of Sumy.
A barbaric attack, made even more vile as people gathered peacefully to celebrate Palm Sunday.
This latest escalation is a grim reminder:
Russia was and remains the aggressor, in blatant violation of international law.
Strong measures are urgently needed to enforce a ceasefire. Europe will continue to reach out to partners and maintain strong pressure on Russia until the bloodshed ends and a just and lasting peace is achieved, on Ukraine’s terms and conditions.
The victims of today’s attack, their families, and all Ukrainians are in our hearts. Today and every day.
Europe stands with Ukraine and President Zelenskyy"

Targets include military and defence actors, shadow fleet enablers, cultural heritage looters, and a Russian shipping company.
🚢 189 new vessels added to the shadow fleet list, now banned from EU ports and services. Total listed: 342.
⚙️ New export bans on:
◾ Chemical precursors used in missile propellants (e.g., sodium/potassium chlorate, aluminium/magnesium/boron powders).

The European Commission is proposing to prolong the temporary protection for people fleeing Russia's aggression against Ukraine for an additional year until 4 March 2027.
This will provide legal certainty to those enjoying temporary protection and to EU countries, ensuring that the same standards of protection continue to apply across the EU. It will also reassure displaced people from Ukraine that applying for international protection is not necessary nor required.
Today, the Commission is also setting out a common European path for the future of Ukrainian refugees in the EU. To offer a more stable and lasting perspective, the Commission is proposing to EU Member States to prepare for a coordinated transition out of temporary protection.

Today, the Commission is also setting out a common European path for the future of Ukrainian refugees in the EU. To offer a more stable and lasting perspective, the Commission is proposing to EU Member States to prepare for a coordinated transition out of temporary protection.
Our Council Recommendation includes the following measures⬇️
▪️To promote and facilitate the transition into other legal statuses: many of those enjoying temporary protection have integrated into their host societies by learning the language, finding employment or following education. They should have the possibility to transition into national or EU legal statuses that better reflect their new situation. These could be residence permits based on employment, education, research, or a national long-term resident status.
▪️To pave the way for a gradual return and sustainable reintegration in Ukraine taking into account the needs and capacity of Ukraine: Allowing exploratory visits to Ukraine could help those considering a return home to make informed decisions. Member States should also set upvoluntary return programmes in close coordination with the Ukrainian authorities to allow for a gradual return home when temporary protection ends.
▪️Better information about available options: The Commission supports the establishment of Unity Hubs in Member States, in collaboration with the Ukrainian authorities. Unity Hubs will serve as multipurpose information centres for both the integration of displaced people in host societies and for returns to Ukraine. They can be financed with the help of Commission funding under the Asylum, Migration and Integration fund (AMIF). To support Member States, the Commission will also appoint a Special Envoy for Ukrainians in the EU.
▪️Coordination and information exchange between Member States and Ukraine:Information exchange between Member States should continue through the Solidarity Platform, and by timely updating data in the Temporary Protection Registration Platform. The EU Migration Preparedness and Crisis Blueprint Network with a focus on Ukraine, and the Solidarity Platform Ukraine will continue to provide a common situational awareness and a coordinated response.

The new measures focus on five building blocks: cutting Russia's energy revenues, hitting Russia's banking sector, further weakening its military-industrial complex, strengthening anti-circumvention measures, and holding Russia accountable for its crimes against Ukrainian children and cultural heritage.
With this package, the number of listed vessels in Russia's shadow fleet reaches a total of 444 vessels, and the number of individual listings exceeds 2,500. This package also includes new sanctions against Belarus.
The 18th package includes the following key elements:
ENERGY MEASURES
▪️Lowering of the Oil Price Cap for crude oil from 60 to 47.6 USD, and introduction of an automatic and dynamic mechanism for its review in the future. The new system will ensure that the cap is always 15% lower than the average market price for Urals crude in the previous period of six months, resulting in both predictability for operators and downward pressure on Russian energy revenues.
▪️Transaction ban for Nord Stream 1 and 2: This means no EU operator can engage in any transaction regarding the Nord Stream pipelines.
▪️Import ban on refined oil products derived from Russian crude: This means a clampdown on refined product imports made from Russian crude that are processed abroad and delivered into the EU. This will prevent Russian crude oil from reaching the EU market in any form.
▪️105 additional vessel listings, meaning that a total of 444 vessels in Russia's shadow fleet are now listed by the EU. 3 LNG tankers have been delisted following firm commitments that these vessels will no longer engage in the transport of Russian energy to the Russian Yamal and Arctic 2 projects. Listed vessels are subject to a port access ban and a ban on receiving services.
▪️Full-fledged listings - asset freezes, travel bans - throughout the shadow fleet value chain. These target both Russian and international companies managing shadow fleet vessels, traders of Russian crude oil, as well as a major customer of the shadow fleet, a refinery in India with Rosneft as its main shareholder. For the first time, we are also designating a captain of a shadow fleet vessel as well as an operator of an open flag registry.
FINANCIAL MEASURES
▪️
Transforming the ban on provision of specialised financial messaging services with certain Russian banks into a
full transaction ban:
This means EU firms are banned from doing
any business,
including providing specialised messaging services subject to this measure so far, with the 23 listed entities.
▪️
Adding
another 22 Russian banks
to this transaction and messaging ban, bringing the total to 45. No EU operator will be able to engage with any of the listed banks directly or indirectly, including providing specialised messaging services.
▪️
Broadening the transaction ban for third-country financial operators
, including crypto-asset providers who help circumvent sanctions, support Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, or are connected to Russia's financial messaging service. EU operators are banned from carrying out transactions with any of those financial operators.
▪️
New transaction ban targeting the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), its subsidiaries, its investments and financial institutions supporting them
. The new measures prohibit engaging with any legal person, entity or body in which the RDIF holds any ownership or investments.
▪️
Ban on provision of certain banking software:
The prohibition on provision of services and software to the Russian Government and to Russian companies will now include key types of banking software.
TRADE MEASURES
The package expands
export restrictions and bans
to further disrupt and weaken Russia's military-industrial complex. These include:
▪️
Restrictions on additional advanced technologies;
▪️
Further export bans
that correspond to almost €2.1 billion of exports in 2024 terms.
