The sanctions, adopted after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February, comprise more than 5 Russian institutions and institutions, headed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The sanctions are expected to be renewed every six months with the consensus of four member states, including blocking assets in the European Union and banning people entering the block.
