of 21 February 2022

amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of 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 17 March 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/145/CFSP [1].
(2) The European Union does not recognise and continues to condemn the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol by the Russian Federation and therefore does not recognise the so-called elections held in the illegally annexed Crimean peninsula.
(3) Following the organisation, by the Russian Federation, of so-called elections for the State Duma in the illegally annexed ‘Autonomous Republic of Crimea’ and City of Sevastopol in September 2021, the Council considers that five individuals should be added to the list of persons, entities and bodies subject to restrictive measures set out in the Annex to Decision 2014/145/CFSP for their role in undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
(4) The Annex to Decision 2014/145/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1 edit

The persons listed in the Annex to this Decision shall be added to the list set out in the Annex to Decision 2014/145/CFSP.

Article 2 edit

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