COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2025/2617
of 18 December 2025
amending Decision 2014/512/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine
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,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
On 31 July 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/512/CFSP (1). |
|
(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 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 appropriate to add 41 vessels to the list of vessels set out in Annex XVI to Decision 2014/512/CFSP, which are banned from Member States’ ports and locks, as well as from receiving a broad range of services related to maritime transport. |
|
(6) |
Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures. |
|
(7) |
Decision 2014/512/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Annex XVI to Decision 2014/512/CFSP is amended as set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Done at Brussels, 18 December 2025.
For the Council
The President
M. BJERRE
